About Evergreen Trees

An evergreen tree is the hardest-working plant in the yard. While deciduous trees go bare for half the year, evergreens hold their needles and foliage straight through winter — screening your windows, blocking the wind, muffling road noise, and keeping the landscape alive when the garden is asleep. Plant a row and you have a privacy hedge that never thins out; plant one and you have year-round structure that anchors everything around it.

There's an evergreen for every job. Fast-growing arborvitae and Leyland cypress close in a property line in just a few seasons. Spruces and firs give you that classic pyramid shape and a true holiday-tree silhouette. Hollies and magnolias bring glossy broadleaf foliage and berries or blooms. Pines handle poor soil and salt with ease. Whether you want a tight columnar screen, a broad windbreak, or a single specimen tree, this collection has the form and growth rate to match.

Choosing and planting

Match the tree to the space and the spot. Most evergreens want full sun — six hours or more — and well-drained soil, though many tolerate partial shade and a wide range of conditions once established. For a privacy screen, space plants according to their mature width so they grow into a solid wall without crowding. Water deeply through the first year while roots establish, then most varieties need little fuss. Always check a variety's hardiness zone and mature size before you plant, so it thrives for decades rather than outgrowing its place.

Shipped to arrive healthy. Every evergreen is grown in our nursery network, inspected, and hand-packed in protective, season-aware packaging to travel well and root in fast — and we honor the state-by-state agricultural rules that govern where each tree can ship.

Common questions

  • Which evergreens grow fastest for privacy?

    Arborvitae, Leyland cypress, and Thuja Green Giant are among the quickest, often adding two to three feet a year once established. For a denser, slower screen with a longer life, look at spruces and hollies. Space them by their mature width so they knit into a solid wall.

  • How far apart should I plant evergreens for a hedge or screen?

    It depends on the variety's mature spread. As a rule, space plants slightly closer than their full width so the branches overlap into a seamless screen — commonly three to five feet apart for columnar types. Crowding them too tightly invites disease and bare spots, so check the spacing for your specific tree.

  • Do evergreen trees need full sun?

    Most prefer full sun — six or more hours a day — for the densest growth. Many, including hollies, hemlocks, and some firs, tolerate partial shade, though they may grow a bit more open. Give them well-drained soil and deep watering through the first year, and they ask for little after that.

  • Will these stay green all winter?

    Yes — that's the point. Evergreens hold their needles or leaves year-round, so they keep screening, blocking wind, and adding color through the coldest months. Some foliage may take on a bronze or purplish cast in hard cold, which greens back up come spring.

  • Which states can evergreen trees ship to?

    Some evergreens carry agricultural shipping restrictions that vary by state, often to control pests and diseases. Those rules are built into fulfillment, so each tree is only sent where it's allowed to go.
