Your cedars may survive Winnipeg’s cold but winter can still dry them out.
Sun and wind continue pulling moisture from evergreen foliage while frozen soil prevents the roots from replacing it. The result is the brown, damaged tips many homeowners notice in spring.
Before freeze-up:
• Keep your cedars properly watered
• Protect the root zone with mulch
• Install a burlap wind barrier on exposed sides
• Keep de-icing salt away from the planting area
A little preparation this fall can help your cedars enter spring healthier and greener.
