How to protect plants from melting snow


Old-fashioned snow receivers, which are seen on many roofs virtually disappearing from the American scene. As a result, there is nothing to stop the snow slid down to the foundation of the plant and the pressure, in many cases so badly, that he will never recover. So take special measures in the location of the plant and in the selection of the correct type.

Sometimes protection must be provided for more winter of some kind. If your roof has no spine or drain to catch water from melting snow will drip from the edge and may then freeze on the plants until the ice load heavy enough to break or break branches. Planting is outside the drip line of the House, you can help resolve the problem of the ice, but not that snow falling from the roof.

Snow protection

There are many ways how to protect your plant against injury to the burden on the snow. Once it is often during snow storms with a normal broom and gently or by shaking the plants, the snow is falling.

The other is a fine wire and nail on stakes driven plants a roof above. Maybe a nevzhledného structure to your House, but it's efficient. Protected plant may have State only four or five dollars, but every year its value as a sample is increased.

True, you won't sell it, but remember that if the main plant in the full group is destroyed, it will be difficult and expensive to replace it with a sample large enough to fit in with the other plantations. If you want to protect their investments, look at the structure of the unwanted wire grid for a few winter months is not much to pay for the money saved.
