Kanas City landscaping about to be hit by major snow – maybe
Will it snow? I’ll leave that up to the experts at NBC Action News.
However, if it does snow, here is what you need to know for your plants.
Most will be ok. We have had a very seasonable march so the plants that are in bud and coming out of dormancy will be able to handle the cold. As long as the cold stays above 25 or so.
I do see an exception to some of the fruit trees in the area. i have noticed that some of them were beginning to bloom. These trees will likely lose some of their blooms.
I would wait to cover any plants until after it snows. The wight of the snow ontop of the covers will likely cause more damage than the temperatures.
Also, there is a risk if we have substantial snow that trees with leafed out branches or trees with blooms could catch enough snow to hurt cause their limbs to break. This could true for evergreens as well.
