Severe winter conditions can be damaging to the health and beauty of your landscape. Here are a few steps to make sure your trees and shrubs are ready for winter.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \"flowersMake sure to provide plenty of water\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>for the plantings on your property before the ground freezes. Focus on new plantings as they\u2019ll need more water than established ones.<\/li>\n
  2. Prevent snow and wind damage <\/b>by wrapping or tying tall, thin trees together. Depending on the year, snow may be enough to weigh down, bend and even break these types of trees.<\/li>\n
  3. Prevent sunscald and windburn <\/b>on your delicate trees. Wrap them in burlap or it\u2019s trunk in a plastic tree guard, depending on it\u2019s type.<\/li>\n
  4. Apply a Deer Proofing product<\/b>. Deer forage and chew\u00a0 on shrubs, causing serious damage. Arborvitaes and hemlocks are among their favorites, so be sure to protect those.<\/li>\n
  5. Apply an antidesiccant <\/b>(wilt proofing product) to protect your evergreens from windburn and moisture loss during the winter.<\/li>\n
  6. Apply a fall fertilizer. <\/b>This helps the plants recover from the growing season, gives them nutrients to store and use during the winter, and makes for a more bountiful and beautiful bloom in the spring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"flowers\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"cypress \u00a0\"Tree<\/p>\n

    Did you know?<\/b><\/h2>\n

    In Autumn, leaves and twigs that fall to the ground act as fertilizer for trees. When this debris is raked and blown, we should apply a fertilizer to make up for the nutrients that are taken away.<\/p>\n
