As Wisconsin weather is repeatedly unpredictable, who can guess what the upcoming winter could bring? However, whether a torrent of snow or unexpectedly mild temperatures, you can prepare your yard for this season. For the next couple of weeks this blog will outline winter-prep tips starting with wrapping your young trees.
The most recommended and common type of tree wrap is kraft paper as it is a biodegradable material and will not girdle the trunk if left on too long. Secondly, it can be found at a reasonable price in comparison with certain plastics or burlaps used to wrap trunks. When covered with this protective layering, trees are shielded from sun scald and rodents throughout the winter. Currently available at our design center, for only $9.99 you can get a 3"x 50' roll of Clark's Tree Wrap. This is definitely an investment worth making. We hope to see you soon!
