As winter is arriving, we understand the importance of shifting our focus from the vibrant colors of autumn foliage to the preservation of your trees and shrubs. Winter can bring cold temperatures, frost, and snow, which can be harsh on your greenery. This is where our expertise comes into play. In this blog post, we’ll offer valuable tips and show you how Highfield Tree Care’s services can ensure the health and vitality of your trees and shrubs during the winter months.

2. Mulching:
Mulching is a protective layer not only guards against freezing temperatures and soil erosion but also retains moisture, vital for your plants during the dry winter spells. We apply a 2-4 inch layer of mulch without mounding it against the trunk or stems, ensuring your greenery’s health.
3. Watering:
Our experts understand the water requirements of trees and shrubs during the winter. Ensure that your plants receive adequate hydration on milder winter days when the ground isn’t frozen. It’s best to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot, while ensuring your greenery’s well-being.
4. Protection from Extreme Temperatures:
Protecting young trees and vulnerable shrubs from extreme cold is very important. YOu can wrap tree trunks with tree wrap or burlap, effectively insulating them from temperature fluctuations. Covering susceptible shrubs with burlap or frost cloth is a great option, safeguarding them from freezing temperatures and harsh winds.
5. Snow and Ice Removal:
Safe removal of heavy snow and ice buildup can help get rid of excess weight that can weigh down branches, potentially causing damage. Gentle methods are best, such as brooms or our hands, to prevent harm to your plants without causing further damage.
