In colder climates, trees are beginning to go dormant and many people think there is no need to pay attention to them during the winter. The Colorado State Forest Service wants to remind people that trees require care before and during the winter to remain in top health.
“It’s very important to prepare your trees for winter’s cold, arid conditions, and also to continue watering them during drier periods over the next several months,” said Keith Wood, community forestry program manager for the Colorado State Forest Service. He emphasizes that younger trees require the most care.
