Preparing for Winter

Winter will soon be upon us, with all it's special opportunities... skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing... it can be a fun time of year for those willing and able to take advantage of it. But, with winter, also come problems... frozen pipes, high heat bills, slippery roads... and winter can also have a negative impact on your trees, especially pine trees.
