Evergreens

                    The backbone of every landscape. They provide a sense of stability, strength, unity, and cohesiveness. Evergreens maintain their foliage throughout the winter. There are two types of evergreens which are divided into two groups. Needle evergreens and broadleaf. Here, in Montreal, the needle evergreens are more popular because of their tolerance to the cold. The most common ones are Pine, Spruce, and Juniper.

        Spring is when most home-owners fertilize the plants around their yard, including trees. Just don't overdo it! While fertilizing causes a spurt of rapid growth, too much can harm the plant over the long term. Spring is when most home-owners fertilize the plants around their yard, including trees.

 Fast-growing, over-fertilized trees end up with smaller root systems that absorb water and nutrients less efficiently than slower-growing trees. The result is that trees are more susceptible to stress, including drought. They also have lower levels of stored carbohydrates and defensive chemicals, making them more
susceptible to all kind of pests. What's more, the lush growth over-fertilizing encourages invites certain pests, including aphids and scale insects.
