Hello!!
I am in Oshawa Ontaro Canada (Just east of Toronto)...I just planted around 10 6 foot cedars and 2 10 foot balsam firs in the Spring. Now that the winter months are here...what should I expect in terms of changes in the trees...this is what I have noticed so far....
With the cedars....
- A very slight yellowing of the folliage (very slight)
- the tops of a few cedars are droopy...especially after a bout of freezing rain (due to the weight of the freezing rain on the folliage)
- this droopiness has cleared up on most of the cedars, but has remained on three or four of them....
with the firs...
- Needles are not as vibrant green....I wouldn't say yellowing...just not as vibrant.
- I believe thinning out of the folliage as well...I might be wrong here...now that the grass is covered with white snow, this might be an illusion....
Any information would be appreciated....!!
Merry Christmas!
Kevin
