Evergreens: The Year-Round Secret To A Beautiful Yard

by Anna

Evergreen trees stay green all year, no matter the season. While flowers bloom and fade and leaves change color, evergreens keep their leaves and color through winter and beyond. These trees are more than just Christmas decorations or pine trees-they come in many shapes, sizes, and colors, making them a great choice for any garden.

Blake Watkins, a certified master arborist, explains that evergreens provide homes and food for birds and insects. They also help create privacy in yards and add structure and color all year long, making outdoor spaces look nice no matter the season.

Choosing the right evergreen can be tricky because there are so many types. Here are some popular evergreens to consider planting:

Black Spruce: A tough tree native to North America. It grows well in many soils and is good for blocking wind and creating privacy. It prefers cooler climates but can handle some heat.

English Laurel Topiary: Known for its ability to be shaped into different forms, this evergreen works well in pots or planted in the ground. It adapts to many climates and adds a formal look to gardens.

Thuja Green Giant: A fast-growing tree with thick green leaves that look like coral. It’s great for privacy and can grow over 40 feet tall.

Bamboo: A fast-growing plant that can form thick screens for privacy. Some types, like black bamboo, keep their leaves in winter.

Southern Magnolia: Famous for its large, shiny leaves and white flowers, this tree grows tall and needs space. It adds elegance and scale to big yards.

Canary Island Pine: Different from typical Christmas pines, this tree has long, soft needles and grows best in warm climates.

Evergreens are defined as plants that keep their leaves and color through different seasons, unlike trees that lose their leaves in winter. However, even evergreens need care, like watering and trimming, to stay healthy.
