RE: Winterizing Temperature Sensitive Fruit Trees
I've seen people wrap their trees in burlap before but the leaf insulation and plastic barrier is a new idea I have not seen yet. I am interested to see how it turns out for you.
Do you know what growing zone you are in and the hardiness of the tree?
We are in zone 7 and we only purchase trees for our zone. However, our weather can go from one extreme to the next in 24 hours and I think that change affects the trees. So if they are wrapped and insulated, the drastic change in temperature will not affect them as much.
Yeah that makes sense. Wild temperature swings are not good for wintering trees. Also snow cover can help a lot. (If it stays all winter)
