Save Your Plants from Heavy Snow
Posted by Anonymous User on 02/22/10Do your plants look like these arborvitae? The wet snow can have a severe impact on the shape of your plants - here's what you can do to help:
1. VERY carefully wipe off as much snow as possible, then shake the branches carefully. (If the temperature is in single digits, or below zero - wait until it warms up)
2. It may be necessary to tie the plants together to help support each other. Use a soft tie - a soft material or some old pantyhose will do the trick - and tie the inside of the trunks together.
3. During the warmer months, remove the tie and see if they are strong enough to hold up on their own. If not, retie them. Gradually begin loosening the ties and replace as needed so the ties do not choke the trunks.
