Coniferous crops

An adult tree does not need frost protection, but a young plant that has not reached the age of five cannot do without it. Coniferous "young growth" should be covered until frost.

Blueberry bush

Although this deciduous shrub is capable of overwintering without shelter, it is not worth leaving it without protection from the cold. After a warm winter, it will bear fruit better.

Hydrangea

Without shelter, the thermophilic hydrangea can die in winter. It should be covered to preserve flower buds, even if the plant is a frost-resistant variety.

Chrysanthemum

The chrysanthemum is prepared for wintering by sprinkling the bush with mulch or covering it with protective material. It can also be dug up and kept in the cellar during the cold season.
