Broadleaf evergreens are leaf-bearing trees and shrubs that retain their foliage all year. They thrive in our temperate climates, provided they are not exposed to extreme cold. Broadleaf evergreens are sometimes called hardwoods, while their cone-bearing cousins are known as softwoods.

Broadleaf evergreen trees and shrubs are a treasured addition to any garden because they look vibrant and alive all winter. Evergreens add year round structure to a garden and work equally well as lone specimens, mass plantings, or stately hedges.
