Cold enough yet?

It’s officially winter in New England and while the temperatures haven’t reached their worst quite yet – your plants are already beginning to feel the effects! Those wet leaves you left on the lawn are
smothering your turf. Shrubs begin to buckle under the weight of hefty snow piles. You name it – your
plants are having a rough go of it!

So what are some keys to maintaining them in the winter? What techniques exist that will help give
them the best chance of rebounding quickly in the Spring? Well, that’s what we’re here to discuss today: Keys to maintaining plants during the winter. Let’s jump right in!

With the holiday season quickly approaching and pretty soon it’s going to be time to put up your Christmas tree. Nothing gets you quite in the spirit like handpicking that live tree with loved ones knowing that it’ll bring with it a sense of warmth, cheer and memories in the month to come.

That being said – if you’re like some, you might be an early bird and shop for that tree early. While that means that you’ll both beat the crowds and get the pick of the proverbial litter; it also means that you’ll have to care for your tree for a longer period of time. That longer period of time can mean more room for the tree to dry out and potentially begin to die off before the big day arrives. Obviously, we don’t want that to happen!
