Friends:

Many of you undoubtedly are encountering unprecedented cold, particularly in
areas where temperatures do not normally delve below freezing.

It is CRITICAL that you review your list of specimens and determine if any of
those now frozen trees require additional protections. These protections may
relate to the following:

1. Burying the trees in mulch and constructing a wind break (to prevent
freeze drying).
2. Moving specimens for outdoor positioning to a cold garage or cold shed.
3. Placing trees under a white co-poly plastic covered growing bench.
4. Simply moving trees to a more protected area.

The list goes on. If you are uncertain about the potential threat to your
trees, contact an experienced practitioner in your area.

This is a deadly cold, and your trees must be properly protected.

Cordially,

Michael Persiano
