Obviously junipers and pines need light in the winter

I don't think so - at least not in zone 7. When the temp. is below 40F
there is no growth going on, hence no need for photosynthesis. I use a deep
cold frame in which little light gets in. I leave it open until the
beginning of Jan., then close it on only the coldest days. The trees do
just fine.

Obviously junipers and pines need their light in the
winter. But deciduous trees which are starting or
have already lost their leaves do they need any winter
light? Also how about winter flowering species like
winter jasmine and prunus mume. And how about
evergreens like evergreen pears and boxwood.

Thanks
Ben
