How to Save Garden Trees from Sticky Snow in the Country in Winter: Start with These 4 Steps

In winter, plants are most vulnerable, even though they appear to be “dormant”.

Frost is far from the most dangerous threat to both the garden and the vegetable garden.

One of the dangers is the large amount of wet, sticky snow.

It is the accumulation of snow that poses a danger to branches that grow at right angles.

What can be done

Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

1. Binding of conifers. You can use ordinary twine. Start tying from the bottom and gradually move up.
2. Supports. They should be installed even under thick branches, as they can break from a large amount of snow.
3. Construction of a shelter. For young plants, you can make a tent-like structure out of breathable material.
4. Regular brushing. Take a long brush and carefully begin to sweep away the snow.
