HOW CAN I PROTECT MY PLANTS FROM SEVERE WINTER WEATHER?








WITH A DIFFICULT WINTER AHEAD IT WOULD BE WISE TO TAKE PROTECTIVE MEASURES NOW.  SAFEGUARDING YOUR PLANTS IN FALL
ELUDES YOU FROM A SAD & DIFFICULT CLEANUP IN SPRING

PRUNING BACK IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES A POST OF IT'S OWN


   OTHER VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS: 

Spray Your Evergreens with Wilt Pruf 


Wrap New and Tender Plants in Burlap


Cover Small Fruiting Trees With Frost Clothes



Larger Sensitive Trees with Plastic Canvas
Topiaries with Canvas Housing or Burlap


Perennials with Glass Housing


Or Cold Frames


Building Up Your Plants With Mulch Works Great Too - Especially for Roses



Or Wrap & Mulch At The Same Time





Then There's Always Old Fashion Burying
This practice is often used to protect Fig Trees as well as Roses
