Why it is important to insulate and cover bushes and trees in December at the dacha: so they can survive until spring
Trees and bushes in the country can survive until spring on their own even without proper care.
But if you do not take care of the garden on a regular basis, then the impression of the result of a fruit tree or even a bush can be greatly spoiled.
In winter, any plant is subject to stress, and an experienced gardener understands the threat posed by severe cold snaps.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to help trees and shrubs
It is necessary to mulch the trunk circle of trees and shrubs with straw and other covering material.
The mulch layer should be at least 30 cm high. Note that trees that were planted this year require more careful covering.
It is better to tie such plantings with spruce branches or thick fabric. The same applies to other trees.
Covering is necessary not only to protect against frost, but also to prevent sunburn in the spring.
