Conifers For Winter Green
After perennials wither and autumn leaves litter the sidewalks, evergreens
claim the landscape. We first notice the striking shapes--conical blue spruces,
spherical piñon pines, mop top ponderosas, creeping junipers, Christmas
tree-shaped Douglas firs. It’s only when we get to know them that we
appreciate their hardiness, too.
"Where would we be without conifers?" asks Andrew Pierce, gardens
director for Hudson Gardens in Littleton, during a winter walk through a pathway
of evergreens.
