Evergreen Tree and Symbolism
This is an example of an Evergreen tree and the picture was taken on the UNCW campus on January 18, 2018. Evergreen trees are known for maintaining their foliage year-round, unlike most deciduous trees that lose their leaves in cold and dry climates as a strategy for surviving harsh weather conditions. While Evergreens do maintain their leaves throughout the year, it is important to know that they still lose their leaves, however this is a gradual process and the leaves are replaced as they are lost. Evergreens can also aid in providing shelter for other growing evergreen plants. From a symbolism perspective, Evergreens were valued by the Celts—an ancient group of people who spread across the continental Europe. They have recently became associated with the British Isles but it is said that back in the day, they viewed Evergreens as a symbol of strength and immortality because they stayed green through the ‘dark half’ of the year.
