Which evergreen tree should you choose?
Evergreen trees provide year-round interest, unlike their deciduous counterparts which shed their leaves each year. While many people will associate evergreen trees with conifers, there are also some broadleaf evergreen trees to choose from, too. If you’re looking for quick coverage, then something like a leyland cypress works brilliantly. If you want bright, bold colour contrast, then it’s hard to look past the spiny foliage and vivid berries of English holly. There are evocative yew trees, a select number of elegant evergreen magnolias, wonderful blue-green eucalyptuses and funky fruits and flowers – we’re looking at you, strawberry tree…
Why choose evergreen trees?
Evergreen trees offer something a little bit different, something for the gardeners out there who want their garden looking good for more than just one quarter of the year. Retaining their leaves even through winter, evergreen trees offer more than just good foliage. Many have brightly-coloured berries, a lovely fragrance or even beautiful flowers. They’re also nice and easy to look after in terms of care requirements. Pruning is rarely needed beyond a general annual trim, a good mulch is more than enough for most evergreen trees each year, while the watering regimen for evergreen trees is regular for its first couple of growing seasons, but only during hot, dry spells thereafter.
What is the most attractive evergreen tree?
Now, disclaimer, the most attractive is a pretty subjective statement… That said, there are definitely some absolutely fabulous evergreen trees out there, from an aesthetic perspective, including the mighty holly oak, the perfectly-proportioned patio olive tree and the oh-so-showy loropetalum. Really, though, there’s something for everybody, no matter your tastes or preferences. The real question is, when are you going to get yours?
Evergreen Trees FAQs
What is the most common evergreen tree?
The most commonly-found evergreen tree in the UK is the English holly tree (Ilex aquifolium), whose spiny, dark green foliage and vibrant red berries are synonymous with the festive season, as well as being fantastic for wildlife. Honourable mentions go to the Holm oak and common yew.
What is the hardiest evergreen tree?
Some of the hardiest evergreen trees include the common yew (RHS H7), Leyland cypress and English holly (both RHS H6). H7 means that yew trees can withstand temperatures down to below -20°C.
What is the easiest evergreen tree to grow?
Holly, yew and bay trees are all nice and easy to grow, requiring little in the way of maintenance or aftercare. Just keep them watered during hot, dry spells, trim away any dead, damaged or diseased branches as and when you see any, and if your soil is poor, then apply slow-release, general fertiliser at the start of spring.
What is the best evergreen tree for small gardens?
If you haven’t got much space to play with, then opting for an evergreen tree like the strawberry tree is a good bet. It grows to just five metres but can be easily kept even shorter. Patio bay trees and eucalyptus plants are also easily kept as contained, manageable trees in smaller spaces.
Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.
