MRS. ARDEN HOME

Winterizing of
Plants Told by
Ellis Co. Agent
“Trees, shrubs and flowers
face problems from the elements
just as do humans and among
them is winter protection. The
amount of protection needed de-
pends on the natural hardiness
of plants, severity of climate and
exposure,” County Agent Euel
Stockard points out.
“Winter injury to plants is
usually attributable to two fac-
tors, severe cold or loss of mois-
ture from shoots and branches.
Extreme cold will cause twigs,
stems and roots to freeze,
prompting cell tissues to break
down.
“Excessive loss of moistur,
which frequently causes winter
killing, is due largely to the ef-
fect of strong, drying winds dur-
ing periods of brilliant winter
sunshine.
“Evaporation of moisture from
twigs, branches, canes and leav-
es (in the case of evergreens)
continues at a slow rate through
winter. To supply this moisture,
plant roots must continue to ab-
sorb water.
“When evaporation is rapidly
accelerated by prolonged per-
iods of winter wind and sun-
shine, plant roots are unable to
supply moisture fast enough.
Branches and canes become
withered and, if this condition
is sufficiently aggravated, it of-
ten results in dying back of a
large portion of the plant or in
its death.
“Therefore, one of the most
important preparations for win-
ter is to see that the soil is ade-
quately supplied with moisture.
If rainfall has been light during
the summer, the ground should
be soaked before freezing weath-
er sets in. Many trees and shrubs
may be saved from winter injury
if this protection is given. Pro-
tection against wind and sun is
as important to many plants as
protection against extreme cold.
To protect half-hardy shrubs and
newly planted shrubs, a wind
screen can be constructed from
snow fence, burlap or commer-
cially prepared straw mats.”
