Damage in Overwinter Storage Checked by Reduced Moisture

The New York State Conservation Department has been interested in storing trees over winter for more than a decade. The main purpose of this project is to extend the spring planting season. Early in the season seedbeds contain frost that prevents lifting trees at a time when some planting areas are ready. Overwinter storage stock is available whenever the trees can be planted. These same storage facilities can be used to extend the later part of the planting season by holding back the new growth on the trees.
