The Landscape Contractors Association offers tips to protect horticulture during winter. Apply anti desiccate to recently planted evergreens while temperatures stay above freezing, brush accumulated ice up with an upward sweep, and recycle Christmas trees by using branches as mulch around shrubs or perennials. Avoid rock salt on walks and driveways as it harms plants and lawns.
