Excess loss of moisture
mainly damages broadleaf ever
green shrubs such as rhododen
dron, boxwood. Oregon holly
grape and Chinese holly.
Sweeping winds and direct
sunlight make the leaves lose
water faster than the roots can
take it up. The problem is
particularly bad when the
ground is frozen more than a
few inches deep.
Gardeners can prevent ex
cess moisture loss by planting
susceptible broadleaf ever
greens only in protected loca
tions, Stevens points out If
the plants are already in an
unprotected spot, put up a
wind and sun screen of lath,
snow fence, burlap or similar
material, he advises. The
screen need not extend en
tirely around the plants, but
it should keep the sun and
strong winds off A mulch will
also help prevent moisture
loss damage.
Alternate freezing and thaw
ing will heave plants out of
the ground and often kill
them. Heaving is usually a
problem with shallow-rooted
plants, perennial flowers or
small shrubs and ground cov
ers planted late in the fall
with limited root growth.
Mulching with leaf mold, pine
needles, peat moss or similar
materials ‘ will help keep the
soiil temperature more uni
form and may prevent heaving
damage.
Burlap protection will help
prevent damage from snow
and sleet Stevens also advises
tying up those plants that tend
to bend open in the middle
For instance, Hicks yew and
Greek juniper are often in
jured by heavy snow and sleet
Meadow mice and rabbits
frequently eat the back from
trees and shrubs causing con
siderable damage. A wire bar
rier of galvanized fine mesh
hardware cloth installed
around the trank from about
two feet high to just below
the ground level effectively
prevents animal damage
