How can I protect my trees from frost cracks and ice damage during winter?

Sudden temperature changes can cause frost cracks and ice damage in thin-barked trees, so consider wrapping trunks with burlap or specialized tree wraps to help insulate against harsh winter conditions. An arborist from our SavATree Madison team may also recommend adequate watering before the ground freezes, applying mulch to insulate roots, and using antidesiccant treatments to lock in moisture.
