Winter Protection
Established and newly planted needled and broadleaf evergreens transpire (evaporate) some moisture even during the winter months resulting in winter kill, sun scald and wind burn.

Between December and March woody plants go into dormacy and the ground freezes. Plants must rely on retained moisture to sustain them through the winter.

Cold winds and reflective heat from buildings, sidewalks and parking lots cause stomates (pores) on leaves to open causing transporation of moisture.

If left unprotected over the winter months December thru March plants will dry out, leaves and needles will drop and the plant will die.

Appling a anti-transpirant between November and December before daytime temperatures drop below 40 degrees will protect and keep plants green and healthy through the winter.
