Camelia
Cranberry
Dogwood
Fir
Fothergilla
Gardenia
 

Heath
Heather
Hemlock
Holly
Huckleberry
Hydrangea
Inkberry

Pieris
Pin Oak
Pine
Raspberry
Red Oak
Rhododendron

White Cedar

Use a slow release fertilizer such as Osmocote on other shrubs and tree spikes are useful at the dripline (where the outermost branches end) for larger trees in your yard.

Spring is a great time of year to mulch. Remeber that trees do better without grass growing up to the bark, so mulch those trees for health and longevity.
