AB During the winters of 1970-1971 and 1971-1972, frost cracks developed on Norway maple cv. ‘Emerald Queen’ planted in a Michigan nursery. Trees in low areas or on poorly drained soils were more frequently injured than those planted on better drained soils. Wrapping trees in November, 1971, with bands of Kraft paper did not reduce the incidence of frost cracks during the 1971-1972 winter.
