Evergreen Tree
An evergreen is a tree or shrub that does not lose all its leaves at once, but a few at a time. Evergreens will grow in almost all parts of the globe that will support vegetation. They have largely solved the problem of excessive water loss through their leaves caused by extremes of temperature. Thus, evergreens such as conifers are comfortably at home as far north as the tundra, while all tropical forests have their rich quota of huge evergreens with waxy leaves. In temperate climates, too, evergreens such as holly and laurel abound.
Plants lose water through their leaves, and evergreen leaves commonly have one or more modifications to cut down the loss of water. Conifer leaves are thin and needle shaped, exposing only a relatively small surface area to the atmosphere. Temperate and tropical evergreens have leaves with a thick waxy cuticle (covering) on their surfaces which help to keep water inside the plant.
Evergreens are popular in the garden because they give some color all the year round. They make attractive hedging plants, and box trees are particularly well known in this role. They are sometimes fashioned into astonishing shapes by a clipping technique known as topiary. Other popular garden evergreen trees and shrubs include hemlock, spruce, ivy, holly, juniper, lavender, privet, rosemary, yew and rhododendron.
Evergreens are sometimes difficult to transplant. Their leaves continue to make demands upon roots recovering from the shock of transplantation. As a rule, in the Northern Hemisphere they are best transplanted in September.
