Its in the name evergreens are meant to stay green year-round. But these beautiful trees dont always stay lively and green.

However, we also want to share our knowledge and hope that you can turn things around on your own.

The wintertime is extra tough on trees. Dry winters are especially difficult for evergreens. Factor in clear skies and sunny weather and you have sunscald. Needles that are already lacking water will turn uniformly brown in direct sunlight.
An anti-desiccant spray can help with the dryness. This waxy coating shields plants and trees from moisture loss. You will want to read the instructions before using the product. In short, however, you should wait until temperatures drop below 50 degrees and make sure there is no rain expected in the 24 hours after treatment.
You can also preserve moisture in the root system by thoroughly watering the tree and topping the roots with mulch. Mulch can also protect your evergreens roots from animals chewing on them.
Disease
If the browning of the evergreens needles does not start from the parts exposed to sunlight but instead beings in a small area, then you might want to pay attention to infections. Catching the infection early on will give you a chance to prevent it from spreading by pruning the infected part away.
A common disease that affects evergreens is root rot. This is a fungus that flourishes in damp soil. You can prevent the progression of root rot by removing damp soil away from the roots and allowing them to dry. A sign of root rot is brown, wilted needles and sores running up along the root system of the evergreen.
Rust is another problem for evergreens. This fungal disease causes powdery spores on the needles. You can stop the spread of this fungal disease by pruning inflicted needles and limbs. Our professionals at Sesmas Tree Service can help with this service.
