Helping the Landscape Survive a Harsh Winter

Just as the harsh winter weather dries our hands and chaps our lips, it tends to also stress our landscape. When it has been particularly dry and frozen, water your trees and shrubs every week during the thawed periods when the water will soak into the soil.

Pictured today is a mountain laurel shrub growing so close to a stream's edge that ice has formed on its leaves and seed capsules. Fortunately, our state flower, and evergreen, is hardy enough for the coldest of weather.
