In the fall, many summer residents have already carried out all the necessary work to save the thuja from frost and wet snow.
Usually, at the end of the autumn period, before the onset of stable frosts, it is necessary to tie up and use covering material.
But an experienced gardener knows that there are two more threats from which trees must be protected.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What threatens thuja in winter
There are two threats.
- Lack of moisture. Spring yellowing of thuja can occur due to lack of water - the same applies to pine, spruce and other coniferous trees. During the thaw, thuja begins to "breathe", which leads to evaporation of moisture. Therefore, in the autumn period, it is recommended to do moisture-charging watering.
- Sunburn. February and early spring sun can cause damage to plants. Yellow needles are sometimes a product of sunburn. Therefore, it is better to use covering material during this period.
