Long Beach garden center shares tips on caring for plants during freezing temperatures
SUMMARY: As temperatures drop, nurseries like Beatline Nursery Garden Center in Long Beach are taking precautions to protect plants from frigid weather. Manager Taylor SE advises against cutting back or uprooting plants; shrubs and those covered by snow should fare well. Interestingly, the snow often acts as an insulator, mitigating damage from cold temperatures. However, younger palm trees require extra care, prompting staff to move them into a heated greenhouse. After a few weeks, any damage to these palms can be managed with copper fungicide. Understanding local plant needs is crucial for minimizing loss during severe weather.
Moving plants that can’t brace the cold is standard procedure at nurseries like Beatline Nursery Garden Center in Long Beach.
