Planting and Caring for Evergreen Trees

When planted correctly and maintained regularly, evergreen trees will offer permanent structure and beauty to your garden. Although all evergreens are hardy enough to survive winter, young plants will need a little extra protection to help them establish. Even the most resilient varieties should be sheltered using a windbreaker or other plants to give it the best chance.
Though most evergreens can grow in sunny, acidic areas, select a variety that best suits your soil conditions and chosen position. Be careful not to plant your tree too deep, as this can stop it from establishing. The first set of roots should only be covered with a thin layer of soil. Then, water and fertilise regularly to help them thrive. You may need to use a stake to give them extra support as they grow.
Evergreen trees will only then need pruning if you want to maintain a particular shape, keep the leaves tidy or remove dead and diseased branches. Do this in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. You can also trim trees in mid-summer after their first growth has ended. Avoid pruning in late summer or early autumn to give new growth the chance to harden before wintertime.
