The Trees at Evergreen Farms
Virginia Pine is short needled with dense foliage and a wonderful pine fragrance.
Leyland Cypress is a very beautiful and soft tree that outlasts other trees if kept in water. Because it is a sterile hybrid it does not pollinate naturally, and is a good option for those with tree allergies.
Frasier Fir – does not grow in Texas, but because of popularity, these trees a shipped from North Carolina in refrigerated trucks, stored in water and watered daily for freshness.
“The trees grown at Evergreen Farms are Virginia Pine and Leyland Cypress. Special care is given to hand plant each seedling on a yearly basis. For each tree that is cut down during the Christmas season, at least one more is planted to replace it.
“All fields are on a drip irrigation system, conserving water and insuring healthy, beautiful trees. Soils are taken care of and enhanced using mulch. Pests are controlled using a pest management system. Trees are sheared yearly to maintain full and beautifully shaped trees.”
