Evergreen

Pinus strobus

• Height:   50-80'
• Spread:   20-40'
• Exposure:   Full Sun
• Zone:   3-8

This American native conifer is noted for its delicate, long needles that give the tree a 'soft' look. It is fast growing, with an open form while young. Will benefit from pruning to maintain that classic upright evergreen form. Does not do well in open sites in zone 3.

Picea glauca densata

• Height:   35-45'
• Spread:   25-30'
• Exposure:   Full Sun
• Zone: 3-6

Shapely "Christmas tree" type evergreen, with short, blue-green needles. Shears easily. Useful as a specimen, hedge, or windbreak. Best in full sun, but tolerates light shade.

Picea pungens

• Height:   60'
• Spread:   10-20'
• Exposure:   Full Sun
• Zone:   2-7

This beautiful spruce varies in color from gray-green to blue-green. A broad, pyramid-shaped evergreen. The dense foliage needs little shearing. Excellent as a specimen, hedge or windbreak. Prefers well-drained soils. Best in full sun.
