Evergreen Trees

Evergreen Trees are plants with leaves that always remain green throughout the duration of a year. Unlike deciduous trees that adapt for seasonal shifts by losing their foliage in the winter or dry seasons, evergreen trees never lose all of their leaves at a single regular moment—though they do shed their leaves gradually throughout the year to replace old leaves.

Commonly found in tropical areas and warm arid environments, evergreen trees evolved to survive in regions with low nutrient levels. A large variety of evergreen trees exist and include most types and species of conifers, rainforest trees, eucalypts, oaks, hollies, cycads, and palms.

How do you identify evergreen trees?

To identify an evergreen tree, look for the following characteristics: needles or leaves that remain green throughout the year, cones used for reproduction, a pyramidal or conical shape, rough or scaly bark, and a location with mild winters. Needles or leaves are typically thin and pointed. Cones can be small and unnoticeable or large and showy. The bark of an evergreen tree is often rough or scaly. Evergreen trees are often found in regions with mild winters, as they are adapted to retain their leaves throughout the year. By considering these characteristics, you can often identify an evergreen tree. It is always a good idea to do additional research to confirm the identification of a tree.

How long do evergreen trees live?

The lifespan of an evergreen tree depends on the specific species and its growing conditions. Some evergreen trees can live for hundreds of years, while others have a shorter lifespan. For example, some species of pine tree can live for hundreds of years, while others may only live for 50-100 years. Factors that can influence the lifespan of an evergreen tree include the tree's location, soil conditions, and exposure to pests and diseases. Proper care, including regular watering and pruning, can also help to extend the lifespan of an evergreen tree.

How do you prune an evergreen tree?

Pruning an evergreen tree involves using the right tools, making precise cuts, and shaping the tree to maintain its natural appearance. Start by selecting the right tools for the job, such as pruning shears or loppers for small branches and a pruning saw for larger branches. When making cuts, be sure to cut branches at a slight angle, just above a bud or lateral branch. Avoid leaving a stub, as this can lead to disease. Remove any dead or damaged branches as close to the trunk as possible. To shape the tree, prune the top of the tree slightly higher than the sides to maintain a natural appearance. Regularly monitor the tree for any dead or damaged branches that need to be removed. Proper pruning techniques can help to maintain the health and appearance of the tree.

Japanese Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga japonica)
Size comparison drawing of the Japanese Douglas Fir compared to a person and other False Hemlock species

The Japanese Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga japonica) is a rare slow-growing tree also known as ‘Togasawara in Japan, which is its native homeland. It grows in sheltered valleys and steep ravines with temperate forests on silicate volcanic substrates. It is also planted in parks and gardens as an ornamental tree. This monoecious evergreen conifer tree has a longitudinally fissured, dark brown bark turning gray as the tree matures. The shoots are pale yellowish brown while the spirally arranged needles can be linear, straight, or slightly curved. It has the smallest seed cones. Wood from this tree is used in construction and also in making furniture.

Japanese Douglas Firs have a typical overall height between 65’-82’ (20-25 m) and spread diameter of 26’-33’ (8-10 m). Exceptional mature Japanese Douglas Fir trees may grow to heights of 100’ (30 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Japanese Douglas Fir has a diameter of 16”-28” (.4-.7 m) with needle-like leaf lengths between .5”-1” (15-25 mm).

Chinese Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei)
Scale illustration of an average Chinese Windmill Palm compared to other species of palms and a human

The Chinese Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) is endemic to China, India, Myanmar, and Japan. The name comes from the leaves that spiral in every direction, resembling a windmill. It is also called the windmill palm or Chusan palm. The palm tree is hardy, evergreen, and single-stemmed. It is found in higher altitudes and tolerates acidic soil, cold temperatures, and even cool, moist summers. The solitary trunk is rough, shaggy, hairy, and the bright/silver-green leaves have long petioles. The palm is dioecious and produces kidney-shaped fruits that turn from yellow to blue-black on maturity. The leaf fibers are used in weaving.

Chinese Windmill Palms have an overall height between 20’-40’ (6.1-12.2 m) and spread diameter of 5’-10.5’ (1.5-3.2 m). The trunk of the Chinese Windmill Palm has a diameter of 13.8”-27.6” (35-70 cm) with leaf lengths between 4.6’-6.2’ (1.4-1.9 m).

Cyprus Cedar (Cedrus brevifolia)
Scale illustration of an average Cyprus Cedar compared to other species of Cedars and a human

The Cyprus Cedar (Cedrus brevifolia) is found in the cedar valley in central Cypres, especially in the Paphos forest. This evergreen conifer tree or shrub is slow-growing, possessing short, irregular, stiff, horizontal branches and thick, slightly curved blue-green needles. The crown is umbrella-like while the cones are cylindrical with a concave apex. It tolerates both sunlight and shade conditions. It's ideal for landscaping because of its small size. The bark is fissured and pale grayish-brown. The Cedar of Cyprus is extremely long-lived and its wood is resistant to rot and insect infections, making it ideal for building wooden artifacts and lockers.

Cyprus Cedars have a typical overall height between 40’-50’ (12.2-15.2 m) and spread diameter of 40’-50’ (12.2-15.2 m). Exceptional mature Cyprus Cedar trees may grow to heights of 82’ (25 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Cyprus Cedar has a diameter of 3.9’-8.2’ (1.2-2.5 m) with needle-like leaf lengths between .2”-.5” (5-13 mm).

Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa)
Size comparison drawing of the Hinoki Cypress compared to a person and other Cypress species

The Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), is an evergreen cypress plant species that is known for its quality timber as well as ornamental qualities. The Hinoki Cypress is native to central Japan and East Asia. It is a slow-growing tree with a dark red-brown bark trunk and branches that droop at the ends. The leaves of the Hinoki Cypress are long, are needle-like, and have a blunt tip. The leaves are also green above and below with a white stomatal band at its base. The cones produced by the Hinoki Cypress are spherical. The Hinoki Cypress is near threatened to extinction.

Hinoki Cypresses have a typical overall height between 50’-75’ (15.2-22.9 m) and spread diameter of 10’-30’ (3-9.1 m). Exceptional mature Hinoki Cypress trees may grow to heights of 120’ (36.5 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Hinoki Cypress has a diameter of 3.3’-10’ (1-3 m) with scale-like leaf lengths between .08”-.16” (2-4 mm).

White Spruce (Picea glauca)
Size comparison drawing of the White Spruce compared to a person and other Spruce species

One thing we know about the White Spruce (Picea glauca) is that it is extremely tolerant of cold conditions. It is found in North America in boreal forests. Other people call it the Alberta white spruce, Black Hills spruce, cat spruce, Canadian spruce, western white spruce, and even Porslid spruce. This large evergreen conifer tree has a thin, scaly bark and a narrow crown. The glabrous shoots are pale buff-brown and the needle-like leaves are glaucous blue-green above. It produces greenish or reddish pendulous, cylindrical cones with thin, flexible scales while the seeds are black. The white spruce is slow-growing but long-lived.

White Spruces have a typical overall height between 40’-60’ (12.2-18.3 m) and spread diameter of 10’-20' (3-6.1 m). Exceptional mature White Spruce trees may grow to a height of 140’ (43 m) in the wild. The trunk of the White Spruce has a diameter of 24”-39” (61-100 cm) with needle-like leaf lengths between .47”-.79” (12-20 mm).
