The three main causes of winter burn are:
1. Wind Desiccation – When evergreens are exposed to dry cold winds, moisture is sucked from leaf tissue causing cell damage. Apply Desikote  in Nov. or Dec.
2. Leaf Scorch/reflective damage – Occurs when sunlight is reflected from snow. Apply Desikote  in Nov. or Dec.
3. Salt Damage – Road salt damages leaf tissue and roots. In the spring, hose down plants and drench soil to dilute salts.
