In this theSceneinTO article, Ryan Stratham from Davey's Strathroy, Ontario office shares what you can do to prepare your trees for winter conditions.
Cold weather in Ontario means the leaves have fallen, and the trees are bare. Luckily, local tree experts say now is a great time to get outside to admire and ensure all your trees are healthy.

Stratham says the better you care for your landscape in the winter, the less you have to get it ready for the spring. Trees will emerge healthier and perform better when they awaken from dormancy. On the flip side, if plants enter winter stressed, their problems will only worsen.
Regardless of what weather lies ahead, play it safe, and keep your trees in pristine condition this winter with these tips.
