Does The Cold Weather Reduce The Resistance Of Skip Laurel Hedge?

by yourhomify on Apr 14th, 2025 11:27 AM

Skip Laurel Hedge consists of evergreen foliage, yet what occurs during the winter months?

1. The plant thrives in cold zones from 6 through 9 while withstanding both light and mid-level winter conditions.

2. The plant preserves its leaf gloss through frost periods.

3. The plant can endure brief freezing conditions while suffering only light damage.

4. The plant recovers quickly during spring returns.

5. Routine mulching acts as a defense mechanism for plant roots during severe temperatures.

The Skip Laurel Hedge covers your property throughout the entire year.

Yes, very cold weather can reduce the resistance of a Skip Laurel hedge, especially if temperatures drop below its hardiness zone (generally USDA Zone 6). While 'Skipkaensis' is known for better cold tolerance than some other laurels, extreme cold can still cause "winter burn" where leaves dry out and turn brown, and prolonged severe freezes can lead to more significant damage.

For Economy Home Decor, protecting your Skip Laurel in harsh winters can be a DIY project using burlap wraps or creating wind barriers with stakes and fabric, rather than relying on expensive professional services. Ensuring good drainage and consistent watering before a freeze also strengthens its resistance.
