@gardening.with.ish: Is it worth protecting your Acer plants from frost in the winter months? Yes and no. Whilst it’s a deciduous plant (which means it’ll store its energy below and go dormant) it should be fine without fleecing or mulch. However, there’s still no harm in adding a layer of mulch to the ground or fleece to the tops. You could even wrap pots of potted Acers with bubble wrap to hold in the warmth. Just keep away from strong winds and allow the soil to freely drain #gardeningtips #gardeningforbeginners #acer #frostedfeelings #planttips
