Evergreens

Evergreens retain their foliage and color throughout the seasons. Versatile in foliage and form, with their needlelike and scale like foliage, upright, pyramidal, prostrate and rounded shrub habit, evergreens are very popular, require little maintenance and possess high landscape value. Evergreens are strong and resolute and can brave wind, snow and freezing temperatures.
