If you are planting new trees this fall, this is probably one of the best tips I can give for helping those young trees stay protected over the winter. 

Winter can be a harsh time for deciduous trees, especially those that are young or newly planted. One of the biggest threats they face is winter sun scald, which is a condition that occurs when the sun's rays heat up the trunk of the tree during the day, causing the bark to expand. At night, when the temperature drops, the bark contracts, which can lead to cracks and fissures in the trunk. These cracks can then allow pests and diseases to enter the tree, which can ultimately lead to its death.

Another winter hazard for deciduous trees is cambium death. Cambium is the thin layer of cells just beneath the bark that is responsible for growth. When the cambium is damaged, the tree can no longer grow and eventually dies. Cambium death can be caused by a number of factors, including extreme temperatures, frost, and sun scald.

To protect your deciduous trees from winter sun scald and cambium death, you can wrap them in TREE WRAP (a specialized material made for deflecting radiant heat). This will help to shield the trunk from the sun's rays and prevent it from overheating.

Also, important to note this is for deciduous trees that are under 5 years old. Once a tree has grown enough in girth, it will develop an outer bark layer that will protect it on it's own. And you DONT leave the wrap on all year...put it on around Halloween, take it off for the growing season as soon as hard freezing temperatures pass!
