If you\u2019ve seen <\/span>the weather forecast<\/span><\/a>, a freeze is coming to the Austin area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the grueling effects of 2023\u2019s Winter Storm Mara on our trees, many of us are worried whenever a freeze approaches.<\/span><\/p>\n

We asked Valerie Tamburri<\/strong>, our Lead Arborist, and Katherine Brown<\/strong>, our Tree Distribution Coordinator, to provide some steps to help protect our tree friends <\/span>before<\/b> a freeze.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

      Water your trees deeply.<\/b><\/h3>\n

      The water will help insulate and protect the roots from the freezing underground. If it is a native tree, no further action is required. Drought-stressed trees are much more likely to sustain damage from a freeze than well-watered trees.<\/span><\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Cover the trees.<\/b><\/h3>\n

      The crown or leaves of small sensitive trees, such as young fruit trees, can be wrapped with freeze cloth after a deep watering. You can cover smaller trees with sheets or tarps, but the cover must be large enough to reach the ground and then secured. Mulching your tree before a big freeze can also help protect the roots.<\/span><\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Bring your tree inside.<\/b><\/h3>\n

      If you have yet to plant your container tree, bring it into your garage or a sheltered area until the freezing temperatures pass.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
