One thing that may help is that evergreens like the soil to be somewhat

You
can check this with a simple PH testor, or you can simply add something
like
Miracle Grow for Evergreens, which will sweeten up the soil.

Small correction to my last posting. Sweet soil usually conotates alkaline
soil,

whereas sour soil is related to acidic. It's all semantics, but getting
the soil
to
be more acidic than basic is the important thing.

Acidic (below pH 7) is sour. Basic (above pH 7) is bitter. Sweet is
around pH 7. Damn, don't your raggedy, bigoted ass know nothin', Doo?
