Preparing Immature Trees & Shrubs for Winter

After a long season in the yard and garden, November is usually time to kick back and relax. There are a few more critical chores to do before you let old man winter really set in. Fruit trees and edible shrubs that were planted this year, or any trees or shrubs that are still immature, need some protection from winter and critters. Winter winds and cold can cause bark to split on trees and desiccation on evergreens and stems, leaving you with struggling plants come spring. Rodents and deer love to feed on tender fruit tree twigs and bark. So, a little prevention now will go a long way to getting a healthy jump on next year's growing season.
