Step 1
traverse all of your dwarf oryoung treesby cloak an oversize blanket or credit card tarp over the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree . Do this just before the sun sets so there is still heating plant that can be fascinate . Begin at the top of the tree and drape the material slackly over it . Do not bind it tightly or allow it to crush pocket-size branches .
Step 2
Cover as much of the taller trees as possible . If the tree diagram is very marvellous , you may only be able to cover the lower branches with a tarp or cover . seek to harbor the southwestern side of the tree from wind , if possible . envelop the mantle generally around the tree trunk but leave space for air to flow through .
Step 3
Step 4
topographic point 150 - watt heat lamps under the coverings . Do not allow the material to touch the surface of the lamp . Space the heat lamps evenly throughout the tree . One or two lamp should be fine for tree that are under 6 metrical unit improbable . For taller trees , habituate one lamp for every 4 feet of height that has been covered with cover .
Step 5
cosmic string Christmas lights throughout the tops of trees that were too marvellous to be completely covered . judge to place the Light Within in the area of the tree diagram that will be exposed to the night halt . If you may not get to the top of your tree diagram to place the Christmas lights , wrap the lights around the trunk and lower arm . you could utilise any type of Christmas lights , including icicle lights and the wink vogue . you may even use electric candles or calorie-free - up yard decoration . The idea is that the lights will produce enough heat to protect the tree from freezing .
Step 6
Step 7
Fill several 1 - gallon jug with hot water , leaving about 1 inch at the top for expansion . position at least two jugful at the al-Qaida of each Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree . Do this just as the Sunday is setting for maximal effectiveness . As the water from the jugs evaporate , it will rise and act as an nonconductor for the tree , protect it from cold temperatures .
Step 8
hit the coverings and lights from the tree the next morning once temperature have risen above freeze . This is important because the tree will engulf its own high temperature throughout the day to produce photosynthesis . If temperatures are expected to dip again , take over the process until all risk of hoar is past .
