• Avoid jerky movements.
• We don’t water the plants or the lawn to melt the snow.

If the temperature is below 0°C, the water will freeze and the ice has disastrous consequences. In contrast, snow has insulating properties. However, the weight of the snow can cause branches to break or even trees to fall. So, to discharge the trees and bushes, we shake their branches with a broomstick, for example.

Therapeutic measures

When the snow melts, it is possible to see whole trees bent under the weight. These need support, not cutting. In fact, it is better to entrust such work to a specialist arboricultural workshop.

We avoid pruning the damaged branches or leaves immediately, as soon as the snow melts, because in the next frost we will lose the plants. We should wait for the warmer days, when the juices start to circulate inside the plant, it is signaled by the swelling of the top buds, at which time the supply of nitrogen is deemed necessary by applying nitrogen fertilization, it will help the plant to recover , the green above-ground part. We remove broken and loose branches, in case there is a risk of an accident. Covering with a special paste to prevent the entrance of harmful microorganisms, mainly fungi, it may also be necessary to spray with a special fungicide.
