All the leaves have fallen off my first year bare-root trees and they all did well this season. I want to winterize/protect them as they are still young, and wondered if the forum members foresee any problems with my plan to wrap the trees in white winterizing felt and then wrapping with spiral tree guards. I'm hoping the felt will reduce temperature fluctuations and protect from SW disease. My concerns are holding moisture against the tree all winter and providing excellent wintering location for scale, but I assume a dormant oil spray in spring can fix that. I also plan to wrap my larger fruit tree trunks with the felt as well. I�m in zone 5a (USDA 4a) some of the trees are at their northern limits (Chojuro, Bartlett, Harrow Delight, Stella, Shiro, Burbank, and Akane) Any comments or suggestions? (the picture example is my Chojuro which dosn't have any branches yet)
