Michigan Trees that Look Phenomenal in the Winter - visionary fertilization

Some of the trees that you will want to keep an eye out for are the following:

The Sargent Crabapple

Even with a very entertaining name, the Sargent Crabapple tree is worth looking out for on any winter walks you plan to take. It’s actually a dwarf tree, meaning it only reaches about six to twelve feet tall at full growth. This also means they only span about eight to twelve feet wide. While these numbers seem large to humans, they are pretty minuscule in the tree world. The Sargent Crabapple is also great at being disease-resistance, so they are likely to last quite a long time. The red-colored crabapples this tree produces creates the most vibrant color and it pops against the stark white snow every time a fresh layer falls.

The Colorado Blue Spruce

Unlike Sargent Crabapple, the Colorado Blue spruce is a very large tree, sometimes even reaching 75 feet in height and 20 feet in diameter. This tree is so beautiful to look at because it creates this vibrant blue-green color that is appealing to the eye. The Colorado Blue Spruce can also adapt to many weather conditions, which is why it can be enjoyed in the dark days of winter as well as the warm summer.

In other words, this is the ever-popular Christmas tree that everyone is so in love with! Other than it’s incredible cooperation with humans decorating them every year, it’s actually not the only Evergreen species. The well-known tree in the Pine Tree, but it includes Juniper trees and a few others as well. This tree is actually so popular that it takes up one-sixth of the entire land on Earth.
