Young or newly planted evergreens are more susceptible to winter damage due to their smaller root systems and less established foliage. Wrapping these evergreens in burlap can help them thrive in their first few winters and establish more robustly. Older, established evergreens or lower growing species and cultivars planted in protected areas may not need wrapping unless they show signs of vulnerability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's a summary of how to effectively determine timing on wrapping and successful steps. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing the right time.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's best to wait until temperatures begin to cool in late fall or early winter before wrapping evergreens in burlap. This allows the trees to acclimate naturally to changing conditions and ensures that the wrapping provides the intended protection during the coldest months of the year. Wrapping evergreens prematurely may subject them to unnecessary stress. Evergreens undergo physiological changes in response to seasonal cues such as temperature and day length. Prematurely wrapping them may disrupt these natural processes and weaken the tree's ability to withstand winter conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreparing the evergreen. \u003c\/strong\u003eBefore wrapping, gently remove any snow or ice from the branches to prevent damage. Trim any dead or damaged branches, but avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelect the right material. \u003c\/strong\u003eChoose high-quality burlap that is breathable and allows air circulation while providing protection from wind and snow. Cut the burlap into suitable pieces large enough to cover the entire tree but not so large that it's difficult to secure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWrapping the evergreen. \u003c\/strong\u003eStart at the bottom of the tree and work your way up, wrapping the burlap around the entire tree trunk and extending it up to cover as much of the branches as possible. Secure the burlap with twine or rope, tying it snugly but not too tightly to avoid damaging the tree.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeave room for air circulation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Avoid wrapping the burlap too tightly around the tree and avoid overlapping in one area. This can restrict airflow and promote moisture buildup, which may lead to fungal growth or other issues. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitor throughout the winter. \u003c\/strong\u003eCheck the burlap periodically throughout the winter to ensure that it remains secure and in good condition. If it becomes damaged or loose, rewrap as needed to maintain protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemove in Spring. \u003c\/strong\u003eOnce the threat of severe winter weather has passed and temperatures begin to warm in spring, remove the burlap gradually. This allows the evergreen to acclimate to changing conditions without sudden exposure to sunlight and temperature fluctuations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NVK Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"5'x10'","offer_id":50344316600423,"sku":"burlap_10ft","price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'x20'","offer_id":50344316633191,"sku":"burlap_20ft","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'x50'","offer_id":50344316665959,"sku":"burlap_50ft","price":65.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'x100'","offer_id":50344316698727,"sku":"burlap_100ft","price":130.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5'x300'","offer_id":50344316731495,"sku":"burlap_300ft","price":360.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/7848\/6826\/files\/burlap_5ft.png?v=1790618524","url":"https:\/\/www.gardentap.ca\/products\/burlap-60-5-rolls","provider":"GardenTap","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
