In winter in the north, some evergreen plants can add a touch of vitality to the cold season. Here are five evergreen plants suitable for planting in the north.

Holly, as a common evergreen tree or shrub, shows high ornamental value with its thick leaves and dark green color. It has strong adaptability, is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and barren-resistant, and occupies an important position in landscaping in the north.

Pine, a tall evergreen tree. Its tall and straight tree shape and lush branches and leaves make it one of the main tree species in the northern forest. Its strong cold resistance and adaptability enable it to thrive in harsh environments.

Cypress, also a common evergreen tree, has extremely high ornamental value due to its beautiful tree shape and green branches and leaves. It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and barren-resistant, and has strong adaptability to the environment.

Euonymus, an evergreen shrub or small tree. The leaves are oval with serrated edges, and the green color is very pleasing to the eye. It is not only cold-resistant and drought-resistant but also resistant to pruning and is a commonly used plant in landscaping in the north.

Boxwood, an evergreen shrub or small tree. The oval leaves are green and thick in texture. It also has the characteristics of being cold-resistant, drought-resistant and pruning-resistant, and is widely used in landscaping in the north.

In terms of maintenance, these evergreen plants have some things in common. In terms of light, most of them like a sufficient light environment, and some can also grow in semi-shady places. In winter, they should be placed in a sunny place as much as possible. In terms of temperature, they all have strong cold resistance. However, in extremely cold weather, appropriate cold protection measures can be taken. In terms of watering, they grow slowly in winter and require less water. The watering frequency should be controlled to keep the soil moderately dry. In terms of fertilization, generally no fertilization is done in winter. Organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer can be appropriately applied in spring and autumn. In addition, euonymus and boxwood are resistant to pruning and can be properly pruned in winter to maintain a beautiful tree shape.
