Some broad leaf evergreens, such as rhodadendrons, azaleas, and hollies may require winter protection from the harshest of winter's winds. In extremely windy locations applying an anti-desiccant will provide added protection.
Plant material installed during the fall season requires watering.
In order to acclimate, and to ensure viability of newly planted material, watering, although reduced, should continue as long as weather permits, and be started as soon as possible in the spring. Some plant material may be pruned during the winter. The lack of foliage enables a better view of cross branches, and errant outgrowths on certain plant material, which is dormant, i.e., not photosynthesizing, the affets of pruning are less likely to cause trauma to the plant.
