Winter drying, winter injury and winterkiH are synonymous terms applied to a Wage disorder common with evergreens. Winter drying typically occurs on warm, windy days following a penod of cold (subfreezing) weather, when moisture loss through the foliage is greatly acceerated, while replacement of the transpired water is restricted because the soil is either frozen or too cold to permit water absorption throughout the roots. The incidence of winter drying is greatest on poony drained sites and in open, unprotected areas, which are subject to full sun and drying winds.
Symptoms of winter drying typically oecome evident m the spnng after the resumption of growth. On narrow-leaved speoes, symptoms usually begin as a browning of the tips of the affected foliage, while the browning begins a! the tips and along the margins of broad-ieaved speoes Where buds nave been Killed, twig and branch dieback is also evident. Symptoms of winter drying are generally most pronounced on the windward side of the plant or the side, which receives the greatest amount of sun, usually, the south or southwest side.
Selecting hardy plant speoes and planting sites will mmtmtze this problem. Also ensuring evergreens are well watered in the iate fall is helpful in preventing this disorder.
