SOME FACTS ABOUT EVERGREENS
They Aren’ t All Green: The term“ evergreen” refers to keeping leaves year-round, but some species naturally come in shades of blue, silver, or gold.
Natural Antifreeze: To survive winter, they produce a sugary sap that prevents their cells from freezing and bursting in sub-zero temperatures.
Ancient Survivors: Some evergreens, like the Bristlecone Pine, are among the oldest living things on Earth, with some individuals living over 5 000 years.
Engineered for Snow: Their needle shape and waxy coating minimise water loss and allow heavy snow to slide off before branches break.
Soil Chemists: Dropped needles make the surrounding soil more acidic, which helps the tree by discouraging competing plants from growing nearby.
