Evergreen trees offer year round color. The majority of evergreens appear to be the same color in winter as in the summer heat. Evergreen trees provide wonderful color in landscapes that are bare of color due to cold weather, dry weather or bare ground. Evergreen trees can be used for many reasons such as hedges, privacy fences or Christmas trees. Many Northern locations plant the evergreens on the north side of their home to catch snow and decrease wind speeds.
Conifers are referred to as narrow leaf evergreens. Majority of people that plant evergreens plant them because they are an investment, they keep their color and leaves all year long as well as privacy. So if you want to use a row of evergreens instead of putting up a fence you will have a fence all year long because the leaves don’t fall off each winter.
Most of us that purchase live Christmas trees around the holidays are purchasing either a spruce or fir which are both from the evergreen family. Christmas trees are used in over a million homes during the holidays. Some tree farmers make their biggest profit during this time of year.
Some of the trees that are from the pine family that you may be familiar with are the Ponderosa, White and Austrian Pine, Bald Cypress, Coast Redwood are just a sampling of some of the trees in the evergreen group.
There are many ways to purchase your evergreen trees you can purchase them at a local home and garden center or tree nursery but sometimes it gets tricky trying to put a tree in a car to haul it home and while you may be successful you run the risk of damaging limbs or the tree as you drive down the road.
