Meet Sprig the Tree Geek: Evergreen’s Guide to Better Tree Care

If you’ve spent any time on the Evergreen LTD website lately, you may have noticed a curious new face popping up. His name is Sprig the Tree Geek, and while he might look friendly and approachable, he represents something very real: Evergreen’s belief that tree care works best when people actually understand their trees.

Sprig’s story starts the same way every tree does, rooted in the ground, reaching for sunlight. But while most trees quietly grow, Sprig asked questions. Why do trees matter? What do they actually do for cities like Calgary? And how can people take better care of them?

Those questions are at the heart of Evergreen’s work every day.

Trees do far more than add curb appeal. They clean the air, reduce urban heat, support wildlife, manage stormwater, and improve how neighborhoods feel to live in. Yet many people only notice trees when something goes wrong, a broken branch, a dying canopy, or roots pushing where they shouldn’t be.

That’s where Sprig comes in.

Why Evergreen Created the Tree Geek

Sprig the Tree Geek exists to make tree care easier to understand. Not oversimplified. Not sales-driven. Just clear, practical information from arborists who know what they’re doing.

Evergreen works with ISA-certified arborists who understand how trees grow, how they respond to stress, and how proper care today prevents costly problems tomorrow. Sprig helps translate that expertise into tips homeowners can actually use, whether that’s knowing when to prune, how to water young trees, or when removal is the safest option.

Education Without Fear Tactics

A big part of Sprig’s role is changing how people think about tree removal. Removing a tree is never Evergreen’s first recommendation, but sometimes it’s the right one. When a tree is diseased, structurally compromised, or creating safety risks, removal protects both people and surrounding landscapes.

Sprig helps explain that removal isn’t the end of a tree’s story. Wood and organic material return to the soil, feeding future growth and supporting new life. Responsible tree care always considers the bigger picture.
