| Is there anything I should do to winterize my arborvitae? I planted them back in April and this is the first winter they are going to see. Also, come Spring, do I need to fertilize them or just let them be?
thanks! |

| Matt, where are you? If you don't know the zone, a general location will do. Also, do you have deer problems? Answers to these questions would really help in replying. Mike |

| I'm on Long Island. New York. No deer where I am. I have a single row of 36 arborvitae. |

| If you keep them shaped like the ones in the picture below you will never have to wrap them for snow protection. Frank
