I live in Canada and we have cold winters..my peony tree should it be cut back?
And covered or just covered with burlap?
Joanne has misquoted her source. The source is referring to herbaceous or garden Peony, not tree Peony.
Tree peony (Paeonia suffructosa) is woody, shrub like peony. Do Not cut it back. Right now you should see plump buds, they not only contain leafs for next year, but also the flowers. To cut it back now would seriously set it back, and ruin the bloom show.
Just like any flowering shrubs, you should do whatever trimming you need to do right after it is done blooming.
If it is small enough, I would place a Styrofoam ‘rose cone’ over it. Enlarge the ‘air holes’, but otherwise use it as it comes. If the tree peony is too large to use a ‘rose cone’, pound in wooden tomato stakes around the plant, and staple burlap to it. Be sure the burlap is a few inches off of the ground, and extends a foot or so higher than the plant itself.
I would also recommend 2-3″ of wood mulch around the base of the plant.
By-the-way, I think the rose cone is the better solution, especially when young.
Good luck-
I hope that this helps
