Winter Stress
Desiccation
Desiccation, also known as "Winter Burn", is the process that occurs when leaves continue to lose water. This process usually occurs when the soil is frozen or dry. Younger plants and recent transplants are more prone to this condition. Evergreens such as hollies, azaleas, and rhododendrons, in wide open exposed areas are also very prone to this condition. Some symptoms of this condition include wilting of leaves, tip burn, leaf browning or blackening, leaf drop, or in severe cases death of branches or part of the plant.
Core Aeration
Benefits of Aeration
• Thatch management increases activity of microorganisms needed to decompose thatch by bringing them from the soil to the surface.
• Relieves soil compaction which allows deeper water and nutrients penetration.
• Works well with overseeding by giving the seed a good growing environment.
• Encourages healthy root zone activity.
