TIPS FOR TIPS FOR OVERWINTERING OVERWINTERING EVERGREENS EVERGREENS
Evergreens should receive abundant moisture in fall before freeze up. Remember that evergreens lose water from their foliage all winter, but are unable to take up replacement moisture from the frozen soil.
Rather than wrapping an evergreen to protect it from winter sun and drying winds, install a burlap wall on either side of the plant. Ensure adequate air circulation; the burlap should not touch the foliage.
Broad-leafed evergreen species such as
Boxwood (Buxus) are subject to winter-kill in zones 2 and 3. Plant in a sheltered, partially shaded area that receives ample, lasting snow cover.
