As winter approaches, the temperature in the northern regions of our country gradually decreases. How trees can safely survive the cold winter has become a focus for many gardening enthusiasts and professionals. Proper methods for trees to survive the winter can not only protect trees from frost damage but also lay a good foundation for growth in the following year. This article will introduce you to the methods for trees to survive the winter in detail, helping you to easily deal with the difficulties of tree maintenance in winter.
Selecting the appropriate tree species
When planting trees, species that adapt to local climatic conditions should be selected. In the northern regions, species with strong cold resistance, such as pine, cypress, and poplar, are suitable. These species have strong cold resistance and can safely overwinter in low-temperature environments.
Pruning branches
Pruning trees in winter is an important part of tree maintenance. When pruning, diseased, weak, intersecting, and inward-facing branches should be removed to maintain a beautiful tree shape, which also helps trees resist the cold. After pruning, the wounds should be promptly treated with a healing agent to prevent the invasion of germs.
Watering in freezing weather
Watering trees with a freezing water before winter arrives can increase soil moisture and enhance the cold resistance of trees. The freezing water should be done in the evening to allow the water to渗透 into the soil deeply overnight.
Covering soil
For species that are not cold-resistant, such as cherry blossoms and peach trees, materials like straw curtains and straw can be used to cover the trunks and roots before winter arrives to reduce soil moisture evaporation and the risk of trees freezing.
Applying white powder
During the dormant period of trees, applying white powder can act as thermal insulation and prevent freezing. The main component of white powder is lime. When applying, be sure to do so evenly to avoid harming the trees.
Fertilizing properly
In winter, trees grow slowly but still require a proper supply of nutrients. Organic fertilizers such as chicken manure and cow dung can be applied to supplement the nutrition needed for tree growth.
Preventing and controlling pests and diseases
Winter is a high-incidence period for pests and diseases. Leaves and weeds under trees should be cleared in a timely manner to reduce the breeding of pests and diseases. For trees that have been infected, timely treatment should be carried out to prevent the spread of pests and diseases.
Paying attention to weather changes
The temperature in winter fluctuates greatly. It is necessary to pay close attention to weather changes and take corresponding protective measures in a timely manner. For example, in extreme low-temperature weather, temporary heating and covering measures can be taken to protect trees from safely overwintering.
Maintaining trees over the winter is a complex maintenance task that requires our patience and careful attention. With the above methods, I believe your trees will be able to safely survive the cold winter and lay a solid foundation for the following year's growth. It is also important to pay attention to industry trends and learn advanced tree maintenance techniques to continuously improve your gardening skills.
