Winter can be beautiful… but it’s also one of the harshest seasons for your plants. Cold winds, bright winter sun, and frozen ground can quietly do damage long before spring arrives. If you’ve ever noticed browning needles, dry leaves, or evergreens that just don’t bounce back, winter dehydration is often the culprit.
That’s where Wilt-Pruf comes in.
What Is Wilt-Pruf?
Wilt-Pruf is a natural, plant-based anti-desiccant that helps protect trees, shrubs, and evergreens from moisture loss. It works by forming a thin, breathable coating on leaves and needles, reducing water loss caused by wind, sun, and freezing temperatures.
Think of it as a winter coat for your plants.
Why Winter Protection Matters
Even when the ground is frozen, the sun and wind can still pull moisture from foliage. Because roots can’t replace that lost water, plants slowly dry out, leading to winter burn, needle drop, and stressed plants in spring.
Applying Wilt-Pruf in late fall or early winter helps:
-
Reduce winter burn on evergreens
-
Protect broadleaf shrubs like boxwood, rhododendrons, and holly
-
Shield plants from drying winds and sun exposure
-
Support healthier, greener plants come spring
Easy to Apply, Long-Lasting Results
Wilt-Pruf is simple to use and can be applied with a sprayer on a dry day when temperatures are above freezing. Once applied, it can last for several months, offering reliable protection throughout the toughest part of winter.
Not Just for Living Plants
Wilt-Pruf isn’t only for trees and shrubs in the ground; it’s also incredibly effective on cut evergreens. Spraying wreaths, boughs, garlands, and even cut Christmas trees helps slow moisture loss, keeping needles greener, fresher, and longer-lasting throughout the season.
It’s a simple step that can extend the life of your holiday greenery, indoors or out.
A Small Step That Makes a Big Difference
One application now can save you months of frustration later. Healthier evergreens, less winter damage, and stronger spring growth all start with proper winter care.
If you’re not sure when or how to apply it, our team is always happy to help you choose the right timing and method for your plants.
Your garden doesn’t stop needing care in winter; it just needs a little extra protection. Wilt-Pruf helps you do exactly that.
