Last week we talked about how evergreens and other plants with year round interest can transform a landscape into a winter wonderland. This week, we'll take a look at some of the evergreens that we've been bringing in fresh from the tree farm!
Spruce Up Your Garden
Spruce are tall, deer-resistant trees. The fast growing Norway Spruce (pictured) makes an excellent windbreak or privacy planting, and the handsome Serbian Spruce can serve as a specimen or an attractive grouping.
If you have partial shade in the spot where you'd like to plant, a Canadian Hemlock can be used in the same way as a Spruce.
Proud Pines
Sturdy and stately, there's nothing that stands out in the landscape like a Pine Tree!
Our native White Pine is a local classic that works as a stand alone specimen, or planted in a double row at staggered intervals to make a windbreak. For those short on space, the Columnar White Pine is a narrow cultivar that grows only ten feet wide.
For exceptional color and form, the Blue Japanese White Pine (pictured above) is a standout specimen with curling blue needles.
Late autumn/early winter is a great time for tree planting! We have a limited number of each of the trees featured here, so if any of them have caught your eye, contact us for pricing, delivery and planting details.
