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.

Atlantic White Cypress (Chamaecyparis thyoides)
Comparison drawing of the Atlantic White Cypress compared to similar Cypress species and a person

The Atlantic White Cypress, (Chamaecyparis thyoides), also referenced as the Atlantic White Cypress or White Cedar is an evergreen coniferous tree part of the Cupressaceae family that is distinguished by its steeple-like crown. The Atlantic White Cypress is native to the Atlantic coast of North America, naturally found from southern Maine to Georgia. The Atlantic White Cypress has feathery foliage that is a green-blue tinted color and bark that is an ash-gray to a red-brown color. Its leaves resemble scales and are placed in opposite pairs. The Atlantic White Cypress produces spherical cones. The Atlantic White Cypress is not in danger of extinction.

Atlantic White Cypresses have a typical overall height between 30’-70’ (9.1-21.3 m) and spread diameter of 15’-30’ (4.6-9.1 m). Exceptional mature Atlantic White Cypress trees may grow to heights of 115’ (35 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Atlantic White Cypress has a diameter of 2.6’-6.6’ (.8-2 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).

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

The name Bigcone Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga macrocarpa) comes from the large cones it produces. These cones are the largest among trees in this genus. It is also called the bigcone spruce and is found in mountainous areas in southern California. This evergreen conifer has a straight growth form with a conical crown. The roots are strong and spreading while the bark is thin and deeply ridged. The needle-like leaves are shed at five years. The long and spreading main branches have pendulous side shoots, as the seeds are large and heavy. It is mostly planted for habitable restoration as it is resistant to fires, insects, drought, and decay.

Bigcone Douglas Firs have a typical overall height between 49’-82’ (15-25 m) and spread diameter of 20’-39’ (6-12 m). Exceptional mature Bigcone Douglas Fir trees may grow to heights of 100’ (30 m) in the wild. The trunk of the Bigcone Douglas Fir has a diameter of 20”-59” (.5-1.5 m) with needle-like leaf lengths between .5”-1.25” (13-32 mm).

Chinese Fan Palm (Livistona chinensis)
Scale illustration of an average Chinese Fan Palm compared to other species of palms and a human

The drooping fan leaves, wide-spreading crown, stoutness, and hardiness make the Chinese Fan Palm (Livistona chinensis) a good container and garden plant. It is native to Asia and may grow in a wide range of soil. However, it has to be warm, moist, acidic, and well-drained. Besides, it may tolerate drought, cold, and areas with shade. Hence, it can be grown indoors. The Chinese Fan Palm is slow-growing and favors a warm, humid climate. It has bluish-green or glossy olive green fan-shaped, costapalmate leaves. When young, the Chinese Fan Palm has a bushy appearance, but a single, slender grayish-brown trunk will show as it ages.

Chinese Fan Palms have an overall height between 10’-29.5’ (3-9 m) and spread diameter of 6.6’-12.5’ (2-3.8 m). The trunk of the Chinese Fan Palm has a diameter of 7.9”-11.8” (20-30 cm) with leaf lengths between 3’-6’ (.9-1.8 m).

Emperor Sago (Cycas taitungensis)
Size comparison drawing of the Emperor Sago compared to a person and other Cycad species

Emperor Sago (Cycas taitungensis) is a cone-bearing conifer resembling a palm, but it is not a palm as it doesn’t flower. It is very ancient, rare, and found in tropical and subtropical environments with mixed, sparse forests and rocky, steep slopes with well-drained gravel soils in Taiwan. This tree is drought and cold-tolerant. Hence, prefers places with plenty of sunlight. It is slow-growing and long-lived and separated from the Sago palm by its spreading leaves. Male and female trees produce cones and can have a branched or unbranched trunk. The crown is rounded, the stem reddish-brown, while the leaves are palm-like, leathery, and dark green.

Emperor Sagos have an overall height between 9.8’-11.5’ (3-3.5 m) and diameter of 7.9’-12.3’ (2.4-3.75 m). The trunk of the Emperor Sago has a diameter of 9.8”-15.75” (25-40 cm) with leaf lengths between 39”-71” (100-180 cm).
