CPM horizontal b roll (16)

Winter can be tough on young trees. Freezing temperatures, frost, and fluctuating weather conditions can cause damage. In this post, we’ll cover simple ways to shield your trees from winter stress and help them thrive.

1. Use Tree Wraps for Trunk Protection

    Tree wraps shield young trunks from frost cracks and sunscald.

    • How it works: Wrapping creates a barrier that moderates temperature changes.
    • When to wrap: Apply wraps in late fall and remove them in early spring.

    2. Mulch Around the Base

      A layer of mulch insulates roots and retains soil moisture.

      • How to apply: Spread mulch 2-3 inches thick, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk.
      • Why it matters: Protecting roots from frost ensures healthy growth in spring.

      3. Water During Dry Winters

        Even in winter, trees need hydration to survive.

        • When to water: If the soil isn’t frozen, water deeply every few weeks.
        • Benefits: Prevents root desiccation during dry, cold months.
