| Pm in shade is good but am shade is better. When the sun hits the frozen stems in the morning the side facing the sun thaws but the side away from the sun still has ice crystals. This can cause damage to the plant as the sun side starts to send sap up the stem and meets the ice side resulting in an area that can burst the cells with that area. Before I lost the tree my happiest tp's were just beyond the drip line of an old apple on the north side of my house. Before giving a suggestion of evergreens a couple of questions need to be answered. How big is the area you are planting? How close to the tp's do you envision the greenery to be? Are you planning on thinning the evergreens as they grow. Trimming or shaping of evergreens? |
