Intermediate Sized Evergreens (6-20 feet)

Tagged as: shrubs, Intermediate-Sized Evergreens, Evergreens, tree selection

Growing 6-20 feet tall, they retain foliage year-round, and soften structural edges around foundations, under windows, at corners, or against walls. Like mid-sized shrubs, they create structure and depth in mixed plantings, and provide backdrop for other plants. Evergreen shrubs come in a variety of shapes: weeping, upright, round, pyramidal, and columnar. Select a variety that naturally grows in the shape you desire. Be mindful of the size they will reach at maturity, and pruning needs.
