Detailed explanation-1: -Much like trees and their leaves provide shade and relief from the blazing summer sun, evergreen trees protect from harsh winter winds. They can also offer some sound proofing (up to 40%) and can act as an air pollution barrier, depending on the location and conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their pyramidal shape reduces wind resistance and helps keep the trees standing upright. And, finally, a conifer’s shape helps it get more light, in places where daytime can be short. That’s because the top branches of a pyramid-shaped tree don’t shade the bottom branches.
Detailed explanation-3: -A waxy coating on the needles also helps keep water from evaporating. These rolled-up, waxy needles resist cold and stay moist, which keeps them green throughout the winter. Evergreens’ greater leaf longevity means they can survive in environments that don’t work for their deciduous cousins.
Detailed explanation-4: -Evergreen plants have leaves throughout the year and generally remain green. Coconut tree and pine tree are examples of evergreen plants.
