Stop evergreen damage
Noticing brown needles like this on your roadside evergreens? Once exposed to the salt-based mixtures used to treat wintry roads, these varieties are easily burned:
White pine (Pinus strobus)
False cypress (Chamaecyparis spp.)
Yew (Taxus spp.)
Canadian hemlock (Tsuga canadensis)
If this browning drives you crazy, here are three salt-tolerant varieties very hardy for cold, snowy areas:
Upright Chinese juniper (Juniperus chinensis)
Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana)
Colorado spruce (Picea pungens)
