Thuja and juniper are fine examples of green plantations on the local area and a delightful decoration of landscape design. These evergreens have excellent decorative properties. And, despite winter hardiness, they need special care during the winter, especially in the middle belt and northern latitudes. And below we will consider the questions concerning how to cover for the winter thuja and juniper .
Than you can hide for the winter?
Tuya, especially the young, needs shelter - this guarantees its better preservation, which is extremely important in the first two years after planting. Whether to shelter for the winter in a more mature age will depend on the region of your residence and the climate.
To hide the thuya is best:
- gauze;
- nonwoven light material.
They will reflect the sun's rays and prevent sunburn from the bright sun rays, which are especially active in the spring. And this must be done not before the end of October, so that the trees are not preli and have had a slight hardening during the first frost.
The sequence of cover works is as follows:
- we cut the fabric with strips of length equal to the height of the tree;
- attach the cloth to the top of the tree;
- gradually close thuya, right up to the bottom.
If you hide the thaw gauze, you need to do it in several layers.
How to hide the juniper for winter?
Experts say that for juniper frost and snow are not terrible. There is a reasonable question - whether to hide a juniper for the winter? The answer is unexpectedly positive. But hide it not so much from frosts, as from the bright winter and spring sun.
For juniper shelter use:
- light lutrasil;
- ordinary burlap of white color.
They will protect the needles from sunburn, and then the plant will retain its attractiveness. If the juniper bush is very loose, you can also lightly twist the branches with twine so that they do not break off under the weight of the snow.
