Tree & Plant Frost Damage Recovery FAQAfter enduring the worst freeze since 1988, many people are asking questions about what to do next. So, Moon Valley put together this list for you of their most frequently asked questions regarding frost damage.

FertilizingWhat's the first step I should take?

We recommend immediately applying Supercharged Moon Juice to all trees and plants whether they’re showing major or minor damage as frost damage is not always visible. Supercharged Moon Juice accelerates the recovery process by increase the uptake and retention of moisture and nutrients. It also helps stimulate the growth of root hairs, new stems, and foliage. If you already have some, be sure to begin applying it; if not, Supercharged Moon Juice is now available for online ordering & delivery.When should I fertilize and what should I fertilize with?Right now is an excellent time to fertilize, and you should continue to fertilize throughout the spring. Fertilizing will help recover all of your trees and plants, even those that may show no visible signs of stress but that had a tough time making it through the freeze.

Moon Valley’s All-purpose Moon Dust fertilizer should be applied monthly from March through October. Supercharged Moon Juice should be added to this regimen, and applied frequently to help recover from the freeze.

Pruning & Trimming Frost Damaged PlantsWhen do I prune?

It’s best to avoid any pruning until the last chance for freezing conditions has past, which is usually around mid-February to early March (meaning we’re out of the potential times of the year for freezing).

What happens if I already have/do prune now?If you prune now, the healthy part of the plant can be exposed to the frost, and will, with future frost exposure suffer enough damage that it may not recover. Also the damaged foliage acts as a protectant from the sun while the plant/tree is recovering.

How much do I prune when I can?You should prune dead material only, so whatever is grey/brown in color (branches/wood) should be cut. Any leaves that are black, purple or otherwise strongly discolored should be removed

What do I do about wilted leaves/branches?If a leaf is strongly wilted now, it will turn color in a few days to a week, and you should still wait until March before trimming. Plants will drop old, dead growth to push new, fresh growth.

How do I know if it's dead?Tell-tale signs of a dead tree or plant are:

• No visible green in any trunk or branch• No sign of any new growth in the coming weeks (the plant

maintains or degrades in shape/color)• The tree or plant in question has a pumpkin-like or rotten

fruit odor.Keep an eye on your tree in the coming days and weeks. If wilted leaves do not begin to drop on their own, that's a sign that the tree will not push new growth, and will need to be replaced.
