Abstract
A winter protective shelter for a plant includes a frame and a cover. The frame includes a plurality of legs adjustably positioned around a plant. The legs are coupled to provide a support structure around at least a portion of the plant. The cover is adapted to be at least partially supported by the frame in order to establish a shelter providing a barrier between at least a portion of the top and a side of the plant and an exterior of the shelter. The winter protective shelter may uniquely protect valuable plants and shrubs from destruction, breakage, and dehydration caused by temperature extremes and winter precipitation.
