During the winter period, the garden is threatened by quite a few dangers, but the main one is not cold or severe frosts.
It turns out that the biggest threat comes from the sun and rodents.
An experienced gardener knows the importance of protecting trees in winter and does everything possible to ensure that plants are not damaged until stable warming sets in.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to deal with this threat
The winter sun closer to spring can cause burns on the trunks, and therefore it is important to whitewash - the paint should be renewed if it has been washed off.
Instead of paint, the trunks can be wrapped in paper or protective barriers can be installed on the sunny side.
As for rodents, they can eat both thin roots and the tender bark of seedlings.
It is necessary to wrap tree trunks with artificial materials that allow air to pass through but protect against mice and hares.
