I put up burlap as winter protection this year around a 20 yo Hinoki cypress and two hollies that were badly damaged the previous winter. As I had never done this before, I was wondering when to remove the burlap. It's stapled to wooden posts, not wound directly around the plants. I'm about 30 miles southeast of Chicago. The cypress is exposed on the south, west and north. The hollies sit back under some old oaks with western exposure. I would appreciate any advice.
