Evergreens are grown in all areas in North Dakota. The primary uses of evergreens are in field and farmstead shelterbelts, parks, and residential landscape purposes. Production of Christmas trees is a growing industry in North Dakota, but at this time involves relatively few acres.

The problems described in this circular are in two categories: 1) Environmental Injuries including winterkill, sunscorch, sunscald, animal injury and root disturbance; 2) Pathological Disorders (diseases) including Needle Casts, Shoot Blights, and Cankers and other Stem Diseases.
