Q.Alberta Spruce winter burn
Will a product like Wilt Pruf keep my dwarf Alberta Spruce from winter burn? We live in Barrhead, Alberta, Canada and are having a lot of winter burn on our Alberta Spruce. Last winter I sheltered them with a burlap windbreak and it helped some but I was wondering if an anti-transpirant spray is the answer. One fellow told me that it won’t allow the needles to breathe, therefore, harming the tree. Please let me know what to do. Thank you.
There is pros and cons to using a anti-transpirant spray.
This is a great link with information to help you decide if this is right for your plants.
