Conifers

Conifers include a wide range of plant genus. All conifers produce seed in cones, with many being evergreen, but some are deciduous! They can grow in a wide variety of habits, including carpet-like groundcovers, dense shrubs, and stately upright specimens. Pine, juniper, spruce, yew, arborvitae and cedar are great examples of evergreen conifers; while Bald Cypress, Dawn Redwood and larch are considered outstanding selections of deciduous conifers. Evergreen conifers can provide terrific year-round privacy screens, while deciduous conifers are better for seasonal screening.
