They have a way to wear cold because trees can not relax like us or walk to a warm place like animals.
Shedding leaves is one method— a bare canopy lets the trees preserve the water they need. Trees also take a number of measures to avoid the freezing of their cells. But the biggest part of a winter preparation process for a tree? This is the attention you offer before and throughout the season.
With these winter tree care tips cover your trees
WINTER PROTECTION FOR TREES
STEP 1: WINTER PROTECTION FOR TREE TRUNKS
Stop sunscald
Warm winter days that turn into freezing nights can cause sunscald, as the tissue under the bark of a tree heats up in the daytime and freezes rapidly at night. The best way to protect against the sunscald is to cover trunks with a plastic tree shield.
Deter deer
Throughout winter, deer smooth their faces with their tree trunks, which make the bark clean. Large chunks of their wood are separated from the affected trunks. Through constructing a wall or covering a protective tree, you can avoid the horses scratching on your plants.
STEP 2: TREE WINTER PROTECTION FOR ROOTS
Water:
The roots of the tree hydrate up to the freezing of the soil. Roots will have provided sufficient water for winter. In some situations, water trees should not be kept for winter. Watering in winter is usually not required.
Watch for road salt
Salt that makes them slip and fall in the winter can be extremely harmful to trees ' roots. Sodium chloride salt can dry tree roots and alter the soil's structure so that calcium chloride-based road salt can be a better option.
Insulate
When the soil temperatures are too cold, roots can be damaged (i.e. about 15 ° C). Snow coverings usual in tree beds provide enough protection when living in a snowy area to maintain a warm root. The roots are not warm But you can pave your tree bed to cover the roots if you do not have much snow in your forest face.
STEP 3: WINTER TREE CARE TIPS FOR BRANCHES AND FOLIAGE
Prune dead and broken branches
The best time to remove trees in winter Winter timing eliminates vulnerable branches that may further damage harsh elements and give the spring a new beginning to the tree.
Leave the ice
If the roots of your tree are covered in ice, do not try to intervene. Ice is thick and hard to melt, and maybe you're more dangerous than protecting the tree. The best thing is to wait for the ice to melt, and the arborist checks the tree for harm while the weather warms up.
Prevent winter burn
Winter burn is the only problem evergreen has when tree needles lose humidity and roots can not replenish moisture because they can not take water out of the soil. The outcome? Dry, always-green brown needles. Air, mulch, and burlap all help to cover winter burning trees.
