BAKE SALE at 2.00 P.M. BY A. R. BUQKI-EY When you prepare to protect evergreens against winter injury, .you must remember one important difference between these and deciduous plants.. Sinceevergreens remain in leaf during winter, they are generally more sensitive than deciduous plants to the drying effect of winter sun and wind. If proteaive measures are needed at all, it is often necessary to include partial shade and windbreaks to prevent excessive drying of foliage. Before even thinking about winter protection, it is first necessary to make sure the plants you have are hardy enough to warrant it. In most of eastern Canada, for example, the Oriental cedar will be killed back very severely if not completely, in winter. If grown in full sunshine, the Hick's yew will also suffer. Broadleaved evergreens such as English holly, laurel, bay, olearia and most rhododendrons will not thrive except on the west coast, even if all known methods of protection are employed. On the prairies, too, some evergreens of the same species will survive while others will not. Most evergreens, broadleaved and needle types, are highly susceptible to wind and sun-drying in winter. One thing you can do right now about those around your home is to water thoroughly if they are the least bit dry. This will ensure, at least, that they are carrying over enough moisture in their leaves. Protective measures advocated by many are anti-dessicants in the form of plastic coatings, windbreaks, and shading. The plastic coatings are quite effective in reducing moisture Now Put your money into our guaranteed investment certificates now paying the never-before interest of eight and three quarter percent. VIC7ORIA VG TRUST COMPANY SINCE leen 100 KINGSTON ST., GODERICH loss from evergreen leaves and are proving to be a boon for transplanting plants. As a winter protective they have proven effective if given two coatings, one in November and a second during a mild spell in March. These anti-dessicants can be obtained in an atomizing can which simplifies their application considerably but this must be done while the weather is comparatively warm. A good sunny day with the temperature at 40 degrees would be ideal. Many otherwise tender evergreens can be brought through the winter successfully by the use of shade and windbreaks. I know of at least one local garden where this has been accomplished with rhododendrons. True, these were the hardiest types available, like the Caucasian and Royal rhododendrons — kinds that with a normal` &most& would be killed back in this area' to ground level each year. This particular planting is surrounded on three sides — north, west and south — by large spruce trees and because of the protection from wind and sun these trees provide, the plants survive in excellent shape. On a small scale, coarsely woven burlap can be fastened around evergreens (one thickness only) to serve as both shade and windbreaks. Be careful not to wrap too tightly or to shade out all light, as evergreens need some light to stay in good condition. You can also tie evergreen boughs around the plants or invert bushel-sized baskets over smaller evergreens. Once the ground has frozen, straw may be worked in and around broadleaved evergreens for protection, but care must be taken in removing it in early spririg; otherwise it is very easy to !break off leaves and buds which become frozen in with the straw. In such cases it is better to remove the straw layer by layer, a little each day as it thaws. In this area particularly, some protection is also necessary against the heavy burden of snow. Multiple-stemmed upright evergreens, such as Hick's yew and some varieties of white cedar, can be broken apart by heavy snow-loads when located under eaves. Many people protect them by building a simple, open-ended 'A' frame from quarter-inch-plywood, and placing it over the plants during the heavy snow season. An alternative method is to tie the upright branches together (not ' too tightly) with bindertwine, cloth or rope. The idea here is to line the branches up , against the main • trunk. so. 4110 cannot accumulate snow loads. Start at the bottom of the plant and work upwards in circular fashion. As with many other plants, the less rugged of the evergreens Will benefit by a winter mulch to reduce temperature fluctuations in the soil. Remember to delay this mulching until after a freeze or two and to use a loose porous material. Any mulch that might become a wet, sodden mass likely to freeze, should be avoided. Maple leaves are in this category, but oak leaves are very good. Light strawy manure, or light compost held in place by chicken wire, is good, as is clean straw, or excelsior. In recent years, shredded styrofoam and polystyrene have proven to be very effective, but they need to be kept in place by covering with sacking or soil. 4A ctinton News-Record, 7171wrOPY', November 1969 How to protect evergreens in er Mark anniversaries Mr, and.
