  1. BROADLEAFEVERGREENS BY Howard Henderson Modified by Georgia Agricultural Education Curriculum Office July, 2002

  2. DEFINITION • HOLDS THEIR LEAVES YEAR ROUND • HAS BROAD LEAVES RATHER THAN NEEDLES • REQUIRES A CONSTANT SUPPLY OF MOISTURE

  3. WAYS BROADLEAF EVERGREENS ARE USED • AROUND FOUNDATIONS • AS SPECIMEN PLANTS • AS HEDGES • ALONG SIDEWALKS • IN WOODLAND PLANTINGS

  4. FOUNDATION PLANTING • JAPANESE HOLLY • AZALEA • RHODENDRON • DWARF ENGLISH HOLLY • ANDROMEDA • BARBERRY • VIBURNUM

  5. EVERGREENS USED FOR A HEDGE • PRIVET • JAPANESE HOLLY • BOXWOOD • BARBERRY

  6. SPECIMEN PLANTS • RHODENDRON • AMERICAN HOLLY • MAGNOLIA • ANDROMEDA • BARBERRY • CAMELLIA • FIRETHORN

  7. EVERGREENS USED TO LINE SIDEWALKS/ENTRANCEWAYS • PRIVET • JAPANESE HOLLY • COMMON BOXWOOD • CHINESE HOLLY • BARBERRY

  8. REQUIREMENTS OF BROADLEAF EVERGREENS • AMPLE MOISTURE • GOOD SOIL DRAINAGE • MULCHING • LOCATION WHICH IS SHELTERED FROM STRONG WINDS • ENOUGH SUNLIGHT

  9. IMPORTANCE OF TYPE OF FERTILIZER USED • TOO MUCH NITROGEN FERTILIZER WILL CAUSE: A) LONG SHOOT GROWTH B) OPEN UNATTRACTIVE PLANT • A SMALL COMPACT SLOW GROWING PLANT MAKES A MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE PLANT • FERTILIZER IS ADDED IN THE SPRING IN A CIRCULAR FASHION AROUND THE PLANT AT THE DRIPLINE

  10. AMOUNT / TYPE OF FERTILIZER • ALL BROADLEAF EVERGREENS EXCEPT HOLLIES REQUIRE A FEW HANDFULS OF FERTILIZER SPRINKLED AROUND THE PLANT. • LARGER TREES, USE 1-1 1/2 LBS PER INCH OF TREE TRUNK • CHINESE AND JAPANESE HOLLY REQUIRE 1 1/2 LBS. PER 3 FEET OF HEIGHT OF PLANT. • USE A 10-5-5 FERTILIZER

  11. TRANSPLANTING • SHOULD BE DUG UP WITH THE SOIL REMAINING AROUND THE ROOTS BECAUSE ROOTS ARE LESS DISTURBED AND ABLE TO SUPPLY MOISTURE TO THE LEAVES • MUST BE PLANTED IN A RAISED BED IF PLANTING IN A POORLY DRAINED SOIL • PLANTING HOLE SHOULD HAVE 10-12 INCHES OF SPACE AROUND THE PLANT

  12. APPLYING MULCH • APPLY 2 TO 3 INCHES DEEP • USE WOOD CHIPS OR PINE BARK

  13. PRUNING OF BROADLEAF EVERGREENS • SHOULD BE DONE IN EARLY SPRING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER BLOOMING ; EXCEPT HOLLY CAN BE PRUNED DURING THE WINTER HOLIDAY SEASON (PRUNINGS USED FOR DECORATIONS) • RHODENDRONS SHOULD BE PRUNED AT THE POINT WHERE A FLUSH OF GROWTH STOPS AND BUDS ARE MORE PLENTIFUL

  14. INSECTS AND DISEASES • BUY VARIETIES THAT ARE ADAPTED IN THE AREA : MINIMIZE INSECT AND DISEASE PROBLEM • IF INSECTS ARE A PROBLEM ; USE MALATHION AND SEVIN • IF FUNGUS DISEASES ARE A PROBLEM ; USE CAPTAN, ZINEB,FERBAM, OR ALLIETTE
