Akron, IPal ' Winter Damage To Ornamentals Many homeowners in the area are beginning to notice that some of their plants do not look as nice as they did last summer or fall. Some of the things they aie noticing are yellow or dead tips on evergreen branches, especially on yews; boxwood plants that are bronzed or bleached yel low; burned leaf margins or scatteied dead spots on ever green leaves; cracked stems and dried-out buds, especially azalea flower buds; and plants that have been killed back to the ground. All of these things are good indications that winter damage has occurred on the plants. This winter damage may have one or more causes. Many df the affected plants were in a state of poor vigor from the effects of poor cul tural conditions, prolonged drought or failure to become sufficiently dormant before the onset of winter. While all plants are dormant in the winter, they are still alive, and loss of water from leaves continues. Rapid fluctua tions m temperature plus dying winds and full sunlight can re sult in the loss of water from plants faster than it can be L. H. Brubaker Lancaster, Pa. *** * * replaced from the roots. This results in the drying out and death of plant parts. Ice and heavy snow loads also cause mechanical injuries such as cracking and splitting. Very low temperatures can also “fieeze out” lender or maigm al plants. Where winter damage is severe, the dead plant portions should be removed and new growth' encouraged by good cultural practices. Plants with bronzed or slightly burned leaves will usually put out new green leaves to replace the unsightly ones. Dead flow er buds will not be replaced, however, until the next season.
