EVERGREENS 



EVERGREENS 



can go three-quarters of the way around or three or 

 four of the larger roots can be left across the trench 

 to keep the tree from blowing over. Root-pruning of 

 red cedars is of less advantage and is rarely practised. 

 In New England and northern New York, the pine, 

 spruce and hemlock, have only a few coarse roots just 

 under the surface and no roots extending 2 feet deep. 

 When moved to better-drained soils on the coastal 

 plain, they develop deeper roots and have ten times as 

 many fibers in a ball 4 feet in diameter. The above 

 evergreens with their shallow root-systems can be 

 taken up with a disc of roots, peat and grass 8 inches 

 deep and 3 to 4 feet wide. This can be set on a wagon 

 and trees 10 to 15 feet high easily moved. Less roots 



1460. The beauty of young evergreens lies in their symmetry 

 and the preservation of the lower limbs. 



will be broken or bare if the ball is tied in burlap. The 

 usual cause of failure in this operation is neglect of 

 watering. Hemlocks and probably other trees will be 

 aided by shading for the first two months.
