The Magic of Winter Tree Identification: Common Species in Nashville

Throughout the winter, trees continue to provide benefits despite being dormant, such as soil stability and habitat provision for wildlife. While fall brings vibrant colors after spring and summer’s greenery, being able to recognize trees in winter can add another layer of seasonal interest (that also builds your local tree knowledge) during the coldest months of the year.

Going Native: Trees in Winter

From evergreens to oaks to hackberries, trees provide food and shelter for many creatures all winter long. By planting a native tree, you can support our local ecosystem and the birds and small animals that depend on it.
