Some evergreens have thin, pointy leaves we call 'needles' and others have thick, broad leaves. If you’ve ever purchased a real Christmas tree, you’ve seen those three terms batted around. Evergreens Can Be Firs, Pines, Or Spruces. Evergreens Are Not All Conifers. It's obvious how evergreens got their name; they keep their foliage all year round, unlike deciduous trees that shed theirs in fall. In fact evergreens lose their leaves too, but they do it steadily through the year instead of all at once.
The year at which the Look For An Evergreen Day was first celebrated is unknown. The National Arborist Association (India) originally established the festive celebration Day. The association has created this Day to appreciate the beauty of these trees. If you still haven't hunted down your Christmas tree, then you're in luck with Look for an Evergreen Day on December 19.
