Winter Injury of Spruce

Growing Spruce Trees in Montana

Winter injury to evergreens was particularly widespread this past season.  The wet and warm fall, when combined with the cold winter set us up for severe conditions for Platte County's evergreens.  Winter injury can best be prevented by proper fertilization of trees in the spring and watering during warm spells through the winter.  For publications providing more information on winter injury please contact the Platte County Extension Office.
