Winter Protection of Containerized Ornamental Plants    (View PDF)

G.L. Good, P.L. Steponkus, and S.C. Wiest

Abstract: Why are plants in containers or B&B more susceptible to freezing injury than those that are in the soil? What type of poly house will give me the best winter protection? What species will be able to overwinter without much loss? With the advent of container production and handling in the northeast, these kinds of questions are now frequently being asked by growers, retailers and landscapers alike. With the financial aid of New York State Nurserymen's Association, state regional associations and individual firms we have been trying to answer these kinds of questions.
