What happens to ever green plants - e.g. connifers during the winter season?
Do they keep growing, or stop growing, maybe they keep grow but much slow
rate? Because although we say it is winter season, many times it can be
sunny and temp can reach 8 - 10 centigrade above zero during the afternoon.
This is my first winter ever - paying attention to what will happen to
plants. :-)

Respiration and photosynthesis slow down, in response to day length and
temperature. Though of course some plants, such as Arums and daffodils
appear to 'grow' quickly in these adverse conditions. They ahve adapted
mechanisms to enable them to this.. 'Clever' stuff!-)
