Winter Drying
Winter drying, winter injury and winterkill are synonymous terms : applied to a foliage disorder common i on evergreens. It typically occurs on j warm, windy day following a period of cold (subfreezing) weather. Uncfer these conditions, moisture loss through the foliage is greatly accelerated, while replacement of the transpired water is restricted because the soil is either frozen or too cold to. permit water absorption throughout the roots, desiccation and death of the foliage results. In severe instances, buds may also be affected and death of twigs -and entire branches may occur.
Shallow-rooted evergreens, which, characteristically retain their lower branches, are very sensitive to winter drying, and recently transplanted evergreens are particularly susceptible. The incidence of winter drying is greatest on poorly drained sites and in open, unprotected areas, which are subject to full sun and drying winds
