Why use Anti-Desiccant Sprays?
Anti-desiccant sprays applied in the fall coat the foliage of your plants with a thin layer of organic “sealant” to help the plants resist the drying power of winter winds and conserve the moisture vital to their good health. Properly applied, a winter protection spray will safeguard your valuable plants through the cold months and gradually break down as warm weather approaches and your trees and shrubs begin their spring growth. Anti-desiccant sprays sometimes appear slightly milky when first applied but dry to form a nearly invisible protective coating. Damage is always greater during the winters that are relatively dry, very cold and windy. The types of evergreens that are especially at risk are any that are planted in open or unprotected spots where winds are not broken by building or other plants. To safeguard your landscape, consider ordering a professional application of anti-desiccant for all your evergreen trees and shrubs.
