Mulch is important for winter tree care months.  Use mulch under your trees in the fall or early winter to help retain water.  Mulch is a wonderful thing to use during the winter months. 

Give your trees a drink, they are thirsty.  Winter water droughts require watering just like the summer.  If temperature and weather permits, an occasional watering during the winter on a young tree can help protect and protect that tree for proper survival.  Don’t water trees if the tree and soil are frozen.. but if it is a cool temp then water away!
