Many garden plants need to be prepared for the cold season so as not to be disappointed in the spring.

Is thuja one of these plants? It is a controversial issue. It is believed that it needs to be tied up for the winter.

This must be done if there is a strong wind blowing on the site. It can simply damage the crown.

If the plants are located in an area that is constantly blown through, then the crown needs to be tied.

In addition, a certain threat comes from a large amount of snow, under the weight of which branches can even break.

Therefore, many experts believe that it is necessary to tie up the crown of the thuja for the winter.
