- Abstract
Injuries of 720 conifer decorative trees and bushes after the winters of 2009-2011 were evaluated in the nursery of Kaunas Botanical Garden. Injuries of these plants during both winters were comparable. Larger injuries were caused by: 1) longer-lasting negative temperature in winters of 2010-2011; 2) conifers were nipped off and burned by sun because the end of winter was cold and sunny. Frost injuries of conifers in winters of 2009-2010 were determined by a sudden temperature change in early spring from below zero to above zero. Owing to this the above-ground part of plants started the vegetation, while the roots remained frozen.
