How to protect trees before winter

In anticipation of frosty and snowy weather, tree trunks should be tied with spruce branches so that the needles “look” downwards.

Plants need to be protected up to a height of one and a half meters.

If there are no spruce branches, you can use artificial materials.

The following options can be considered good: spunbond, roofing felt, and even nylon tights.

An important point: the selected material must also end up in the soil - at least a few centimeters deep. After all, there is a risk that a pest that has gotten into the area will dig under it.

It also makes sense to use poisonous baits. But be careful: pets should not pay attention to dangerous delicacies.
