What Does Winter Overcoat Protection Do?

Trees and shrubs release moisture through their leaves and needles. This process accelerates in the winter, leading to dehydration and damage. Winter overcoat—an anti-desiccant application—is essential to prevent this loss. It forms a protective layer that locks in moisture, helping your trees and shrubs stay hydrated and healthy throughout the dry, cold conditions of the season.

Which Trees and Shrubs Benefit Most from Winter Overcoat?

The trees and shrubs most in need of winter overcoat protection are those that retain their leaves and needles throughout the year. Broadleaf evergreens like hollies, laurels, rhododendrons, azaleas and boxwoods, as well as certain conifers like spruce and fir trees, all benefit from the application of an anti-desiccant.
