Evergreen Trees For Winter

List of Evergreen Trees For Winter with Growing Advice

Winter highlights the good and bad points of garden design as the structure is laid bare revealing the basic bones of it’s make up. For winter evergreen trees, the winter takes on a unique importance compared to the other seasons. As the summer plants die back to ground level and the deciduous trees have shed their leaves, this is when winter evergreens come into their own and become focal points of interest. Their beauty becomes apparent where previously they were hidden by the blooms of summer. Ideally you want to aim to have a garden that provides interest all year round, but based upon solid foundations, which is where evergreen plants come into their primary role.

Of course, winter evergreen trees come in all shapes, sizes and colors and there is something to suite every garden. You may want to consider unusual, eye-catching shapes that give drama such as weeping and pendulous evergreens like:

 

Winter Evergreens - Weeping Norway Spruce - Picea Abies Pendula  A dark green tree for colder climates, with unique weeping branches shooting away from central stems that have their own drooping branchlets. It will grow to about 15-feet tall and is best left to lean naturally where it is seen at its best.

Evergreen Trees For WinterSargent’s Weeping Canadian Hemlock -                                                Tsuga Canadensis var.Sargentii     
It has wonderful weeping evergreen foliage all year round and grows to about 10-feet tall. The only negative it has is that it can grow 20 to 30 feet wide left unchecked, so pruning is therefore essential if you have limited space for these winter evergreens.

Weeping Yaupon Holly - Ilex Vomitoria Pendula 
Growing to 25-feet high and 12-feet wide, it’s a lovely winter evergreen with tiny oval shaped leaves. This variety of holly produces an excellent show of bright red berries during the winter. It likes full to partial sun and is semi drought tolerant and is quite adaptable to dry or wet soil.

Weeping Chinese Elm -Ulmus Parvifolia Sempervirens                                                                
Favorite winter evergreens for built up commercial areas where there are office buildings and parking where it makes effective landscaping. It has a wonderful outline and beautiful structure. Typically growing 30 to 40-feet tall, it may lose its leaves in some colder areas, so please seek advice before planting.

Ollesons Green Weeping Rocky Mountain Juniper -                       Juniperus Scopulorum Tolleson’s Green Weeping                     
With very distinctive features provided by its long pendulous branches with drooping foliage, it stands out from other evergreen trees for winter making it a central feature. You will need adequate space as it may grow up to 30-feet high and wide. This Weeping Rocky Mountain Juniper winter evergreen prefers full sun with dry to well-drained soil.

                                                                                                 
Planning Your Evergreen Trees For Winter: Take into consideration how they will interact with the rest of your planting. A mixture of strong well developed evergreens and deciduous trees will bring maturity to a garden and give an established feel. Judge how one tree or plant will look next to another throughout the seasons. For example, a group of winter evergreen trees may look fine all year round, but may be masked by dogwood grown in front of them which are primarily grown for their unique stem color  in winter. In winter, deciduous dogwoods planted directly in front of a dense backdrop of winter evergreens will lessen the impact of the dogwood. Dogwood require contrast to show them off, with plenty of light reflecting off their  colored  stems.

Evergreen Focal Points                                                                                                                         
Select special winter evergreen trees as focal points around your garden so as to provide interest on the dullest of days and brighten up an otherwise boring view. Just seeing green all year round is a pleasure as it makes the garden come alive and makes the winter shorter. Evergreen trees in winter can look splendid after a fall of snow and your garden can take on a magical appearance not seen at any other time of year.
