No more fertilization We do not supply the plants with nitrogen fertilizers and mixtures containing nitrogen, because it extends the vegetation of plants, so the shoots will not have time to lignified and can freeze during severe winters.
Soil mulching
An important treatment is mulching the soil, which helps to keep the temperature at a more even level. In winter, the soil in the mulch freezes more shallow, and in mild winter it may not freeze at all. As a result, it allows for partial replenishment of water deficiencies in plants that are always green. The mulch protects the roots of the shoots and shallow developing roots from freezing.
Planting shrubs October is the ideal time to plant trees and shrubs with seasonal leaves with bare root, as the plants are in a dormant phase right now. The cool autumn weather favors the development of roots in the new planting site. Before planting, care should be taken not to overdry the root system. If symptoms of drying of the roots or wrinkling of the bark on the shoots are observed, the roots should be immersed in water for about 2 hours.
