Texas is known for its hot summers, even on Christmas it's 70 degrees! But on rare occasions, an ice storm will creep in. The temperatures will drop down to below 30, freezing rain will start, and ice will form... causing hazardous conditions for not only humans but nature as well. We can wrap your shrubs to keep them safe!
