I am posing this discussion topic to gain some input from others from far and wide.
Would you or would you not burlap ornamentals during the winter months?
I have heard some say that burlapping is detrimental to the tree! Why?
Yes, if a Thuja sp. for example were wrapped too tight or if wrapped in too close of proximity, the branches and evergreen foliage could be damaged. However, if the proper care is taken, what's the problem?
Where I live, deer are as abundant as neighborhood dogs.........meaning that they emigrate city limits in search of food and what could be better than a lushous ornamental that has benefited by TLC. If you want to save an evergreen (especially juvenile ones), you have to cover them with something or be prepared to replant!
Let not only me, but others know what you have found through personal experience..........
