It is necessary to find out if there are nests of dangerous insects on trees and bushes.

You should also check whether the trees are affected by diseases. If there are signs of diseases, you should think about cutting down the tree.

Snow removal

It is necessary to remove the white flakes that have appeared on the garden paths. The trees should also be cleared of snow.

It is enough to shake off excess sediment from woody plants. If this is not done, the branches may break off due to the load.

Using snow as a covering material

Precipitation can be used as a means of protecting trees. More precisely, to protect their root system.

To do this, it is enough to rake the snow to the tree trunk circles. The result will be the appearance of a covering material, thanks to which the roots will be protected from low temperatures.
