Splayed out branches on conifers that have become damaged by the weight of snow or by strong winds should be tied up.
Bulbs coming up in the rock garden or in containers may benefit from overhead protection from the rain and snow.

Snow should be removed from greenhouse and conservatory roofs, to prevent damage and to allow good light penetration.
If snow sits on hedges or the crowns of trees there is a danger of branches breaking: therefore shake off excess snow.
