Conifers and evergreen trees
Evergreen trees are valuable assets in the garden, providing beautiful structure all year round. Conifers come in all shapes, colours and sizes and are often used as a focal point or feature plant. Conifers don't have typical leaves, instead they have "needle or scale-like" foliage. There are a number of evergreen trees that are not conifers if you'd like a leafy evergreen tree.
