Tip of the Week - December 11, 2006

Winter Protection for your Broadleaf Shrubs. . .

Applying Wilt-Pruf helps to reduce moisture loss when plants are under stress.

In the winter, drying winds and frozen ground deprives plants of their natural moisture intake. Shrubs such as Rhododendrons, Boxwood, Azaleas, Hollies and Laurel will benefit from an application of Wilt-Pruf. Spraying should occur in late Fall when temperatures are near 40 degrees F.

If you did not get a chance to apply an application you may want to provide a wind-shield such as burlap to these shrubs as well as some mulch protection around the base of the shrub.
