Before selecting evergreen trees at a nursery, evaluate the intended planting location for good soil drainage, sufficient sunlight and space adequate enough to accommodate the desired evergreen at its mature size. Determine whether the tree's growth might later infringe on overhead utility lines. Please see PlantTalk script "Evergreen trees for Colorado landscapes."
