Straw for winter protection
« on: September 17, 2023, 04:29:14 PM »
Does anyone surround their citrus trees with straw to overwinter them? I am in Zone 7a.

Well, it wasn't for citrus, but we did build a strawbale "structure" that we roofed with bull panels and plastic to protect lychee layers from the cold one year. I was a kid at the time. It must not have been cost effective, because we never did it again. However, the trees made it through the cold just fine with no heater in there.
