Will Juniper Be Harmed By Snow Cover

Question From: Hendersonville, North Carolina, United States
Q: My 2 season old Blue Pacific Juniper and grey owl juniper were covered 3 feet deep with wet snow from road snowplow. Will this hurt them? May take 3 weeks to melt.

A: They should be fine Ronald. Trying to uncover them may do great harm. The branches are brittle and may crack and split. Just let nature take her course. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
