My customer has no luck keeping his potteded evergreens alive each year. I have told him about monrovia. I would like a list of plants and evergreens for the New York City and Long Island area. Remember they are for pots on his deck. I would also request imformation on customer care for these items. |
will not have time to harden before winter. Next, application of an antidessicant spray per label instructions can also be helpful in some cases. Since the conditions are so variable -- for instance a mild winter can result in better success than a particularly cold one, or a winter where there are many abrupt swings from hot to cold can be very tough on plants -- in my experience it is better to consider the potted evergreens as an annual planting and be pleasantly surprised when they do in fact survive. Sometimes it is a matter of skill, but at least as often it is a matter of skill plus luck with the weather. I hope this helps you in addressing the difficulties of keeping these plants alive and healthy. will not have time to harden before winter.
