Redefining the meaning of cold-hardy evergreens:
Early November of 2014 brought one of the most dramatic temperature drops ever recorded in Central Wyoming. Temperatures hovered around 70 degrees throughout October and early November, and then the temperature dropped to -25 degrees in just a few days—a 90+ degree drop. Many plants including some evergreens were still in the process of going dormant.

They do this by reducing the amount of water stored in their cells and increasing the sugar content (a tree’s method of developing anti-freeze for the cold of winter). The problem was they hadn’t developed their anti-freeze; they had too much water in their cells. We all know when water freezes, it expands; in the case of trees the water burst the cell walls and literally destroyed the vascular system of the affected trees making it impossible for trees to move food and water. This was the equivalent to hemorrhaging in humans. Many trees died.

Yet, there were evergreen trees that never showed any stress what so ever. The Wyoming Plant Company is pleased to offer our customers hand-picked selections that can handle such harsh conditions including our abundant winds.
