TIPS FOR OVERWINTERING TIPS FOR OVERWINTERING EVERGREENSEVERGREENS

Evergreens should receive abundant mois-ture in fall before freeze up. Remember that evergreens lose water from their foliage all winter, but are unable to take up replace-ment moisture from the frozen soil.

Rather than wrapping an evergreen to pro-

tect it from winter sun and drying winds, install a burlap wall on either side of the plant. Ensure adequate air circulation; the burlap should not touch the foliage.

Broad-leafed evergreen species such as

Boxwood (Buxus) are subject to winter-kill in zones 2 and 3. Plant in a sheltered, partially shaded area that receives ample, lasting snow cover.
