Winter Injury The warm weather that occurred in late fell and early winter created ideal conditions for winter injury on plants in our area. Winter injury causes broadleaf evergreens’ foliage to turn brown. This occurs when cold weather follows unusually warm periods or when the ground is frozen for extended periods of time.
Plants exposed to rapid temperature extremes are unable to completely harden off their foliage under these conditions or water is not available for root uptake. As a result, winter injury occurs and becomes evident during this time of year.
Holly, rhododendron, and mountain laurel are particularly susceptible to this type of injury. The good news is the plants should flush out new growth in the spring and recover from this damage. Pruning the dead tips and fertilizing will greatly help these plants.
