 A weekly blog from
Tom Dayton....

November 29, 2013
This past week turned surprisingly quickly to winter shutting
down most (but not all) gardening chores. At least two
necessary items to perform is to apply a wrap or tree guard to young trees
with less than a 2” caliper trunk to prevent rabbits from chewing off the
tender bark during the winter. A too soon application of
the protective trunk is detrimental to the tree as it creates on warmer
microclimate around the trunk resulting in the increased chance of the bark
splitting due to it’s being unacclimated to the ensuing cold weather.
Experiments performed by Dr. Hannah Mather’s has confirmed that the above
can be one cause of bark splitting on trees.
Again, any tree or shrub in areas of heavy deer
concentration needs protected. One method of hanging
pieces of soap from the plants works for many gardeners but can be quite
time consuming. Another method would be to apply the
concentrate Liquid Fence as directed as soon as temperatures rise above
freezing even for just a couple of hours.
