To Our Valued Customer,
It is with a thankful heart that we express our gratitude for all the many ways that you have blessed us this year. We pray that God would bless you and your family this Thanksgiving.
.
Don't forget, there is still time to plant this 2011 season. Although the air is becoming chilly, the ground is still warm and fall is the best time to plant most trees and shrubs.
Several fall promotions remain in effect as we begin to wrap up the 2011 season and prepare for 2012.
Sincerely,
Chesterfield Valley Nursery Staff
"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.
(KJV) Psalm 100: 4-5 |

Protecting Your Plants in Winter:
Temperature, Wind, and Animals | |
Winter sun, wind, and cold temperatures can bleach and dryout evergreen foliage, damage bark, and injure or kill branches, flowerbuds, and roots. Snow and ice can break branches and topple entire trees. Salt used for deicing streets, sidewalks, and parking lots is harmful to landscape plantings. Winter food shortages force deer to feed on bark, twigs, flowerbuds, and foliage, injuring and sometimes killing trees and shrubs.
However, there are steps you can take to protect your plants and minimize some of this damage.
WHAT IS WINDBURN & WHAT CAUSES IT?:
Browning or bleaching of evergreen foliage during winter occurs for several reasons:
- Winter sun and wind cause excessive transpiration (foliage water loss) while the roots are in frozen soil and unable to replace lost water.
- Bright sunny days during the winter cause warming of the plant tissue which initiates cellular activity. Then, when the sun is quickly shaded, foliage temperature drops to levels that cause injury or death.
- Cold temperatures early in the fall before plants have hardened off completely or late spring after new growth has occurred can result in injury or death of this tender tissue.
Treatments: Wilt-Pruf Plant Protector (see info to right)
DEER & OTHER ANIMALS
Deer feed on and damage branches of small trees and shrubs. Repellents, such as Plantskydd, provide control if feeding pressure is not extremely heavy. Plants can be sprayed with the repellent; however, the most effective procedure is to hang heavy rags near the plants to be protected that have been dipped in concentrated repellant. Repeated plant applications or dipping of rags is necessary. Deer can also be successfully excluded with fencing. To be effective, fences must be high and constructed properly. If deer are starving, there is little that will prevent feeding. Rodents and other small animals, such as rabbits, can do a lot of damage to shrubs and trees.

Vacation Product Info
Plantskydd Repellant
Plantskydd Repellents work by emitting an odor that animals associate with predator activity, repelling animals before they nibble on plants. Research has proven that odor-based repellents are more effective than other repellent systems, where the animal needs to taste treated plants before being repelled.
Plantskydd's long-term effectiveness is attributable to the tenacity of its 100% natural, vegetable oil binder in sticking to plants, even under severe snow/rainfall conditions-up to 6 months over winter, 3-4 months in summer.
Plantskydd stimulates a fear-based response, which will have deer, elk, moose, rabbits, voles, opossum, and other small critters looking to dine somewhere other than your garden or plantation.
Plantskydd is RAIN FAST IN 24 HOURS
1 Quart RTU $21.99
1 lb. Granular $14.95
