Remove diseased leaves and limbs – to prevent future spread next season. Look for:
Black spots on leaves (roses, apples).
Powdery mildew on lilacs, peonies and other perennials.
Blighted signs on tree and shrub twigs – remove below infested areas and be sure to clean tools with alcohol to prevent spread.

Winter Plant Protection
Winter protection can takemany forms for trees & shrubs:
Proper cabling for weak trees to porous fabricfor ornamental shrubs to anti-transparent
sprayed on the bottom & top side.
*Please note Winter Chemical and Organic Tree
Care should be performed and assessedby a professional certified arborist.
Winter Protection Cont.
Thermal Blankets – Keep heat in and allows rain and irrigation throughout the material
Bio-Climate Hoods – Cylinder fleece allows light, air and water but protects plant from heat wilt, rain and frost
Burlap is an economical way to wrap trees & shrubsfor winter protection. Usually a 5.5 ounce medium weave burlap is best. This will help protect against most of all drying damaging wind burn.
Winter Plant Protection
Protect small trees and shrubs from heavy snow loads this winter.
We have already seen a lot of tree and plant damage from the October storm we had.
You probably noticed all of the snapped limbs and stressed trees that were leaning.
Tie them up or add fencing or wooden covers.
Install windbreaks.
Tree and Shrubs in the Winter
Fall Plant Fertilizing
Fall Fertilization to replace food supply to all plant material used during the season to cope with the environment, insects and disease.
Dormant Oils
Fall Dormant or Horticultural Oil performed to suffocate winter insect egg masses.
These eggs are laid in fall to carry on future populations of Aphid, mite, scale, lace bug, mealy bug & Caterpillars (winter moth, tent caterpillar & cankerworm.
These eggs lay dormant during winter waiting for the following spring. This treatment will help to minimize the amount of eggs that will hatch out in spring.

In General chlorophyll in the foliage can destroy during cold bright winter days when temps are below 28 degrees this causes yellowish white bleaching on the needles. The ways to minimize winter injury to young evergreen’s are to water them throughout and in the fall. Never plant them on a south/southwest side of a structure (your home) or in areas with high wind and sun exposure. Besides insulating the root system with leaves, a burlap wall can be created with wooden poses to keep out harsh winds for you taller trees (10+ ft). Shorter plants can be burlaped or use a breathable shrub blanket. If you evergreens receive some browning or discoloration wait until mid spring to prune out the foliage that is injured. Fertilize early spring to encourage new growth.
