Keep Your Trees Healthy This Winter

Even as temps drop, your trees and plants still need your care. Water trees and shrubs once a month if there’s been less than an inch of rain or snow. Moist soil helps protect roots from freezing and keeps them healthy through winter! Learn how to winterize your yard at CSU Extension. Learn more at the Healthy Tree webpage.
