Hi and welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today, let's talk about how to protect trees for winter. When the last red leaf falls from its wooden abode, we begin to get ready for winter. Before the severe cold set in, you might have had a check around your property. But following recent strong winds, have you checked your trees? Trees sometimes struggle in the winter. Without the right safeguards, your tree's longevity may be compromised. Here are some tips from TN Nursery on how to winterize and safeguard your trees. Tip number 1: Winter watering. Ensure that trees are well watered and nourished during the fall to prepare them for the upcoming winter. Daily watering of the tree is required until the ground freezes. During this season, trees frequently lack adequate water. When there is no snow on the ground and the temperature is above 40°, water trees during the winter. During winter, trees and bushes can get parched. Ensure their development by monitoring their progress. Tip number 2: Bands of mulch. A few inches of mulch can keep trees warm in the cold. Make certain that no mulch is piled directly around the tree's base. Allow a few inches of breathing space between the trunk and the mulch. Tip number 3: For wintertime tree protection, use blankets. Use a tree blanket to protect your trees from sudden temperature swings, particularly on the lower regions of the trunk and branches. Younger trees are more prone to cold weather problems. Polypropylene fabric, paper, or cardboard are used to make tree wrap. Tree coverings are available at your local hardware store. Don't forget to take these actions to tuck your plants in for the winter and guarantee they have everything they need to thrive when the growing season begins again next year.
