Evergreen Trees

Selecting the right evergreen for your garden depends on your specific needs and local climate. Consider the growing zone, available space, and the purpose of the tree or shrub (such as privacy, windbreak, or decorative). The Thuja Green Giant is ideal for fast privacy in zones 5-8, the Italian Cypress offers vertical elegance in warmer climates (zones 7-10), and the Fragrant Tea Olive Tree brings aromatic blooms to zones 7-10 gardens.

Evergreen trees are relatively low maintenance but do require some care to thrive. This includes watering during dry periods, especially in the first few years after planting, mulching to retain soil moisture, and occasional pruning if a specific shape or size is desired. Each species has its own specific care requirements, detailed with your purchase.

The best time to plant evergreen trees is during the dormant season, from late fall to early spring, avoiding periods of extreme cold. This timing allows the trees to establish roots in their new location before the stress of the hotter summer months. However, potted trees or those in milder climates can be planted year-round with proper care.
