Evergreen Trees

Evergreen trees provide year-round canopy, screening and vertical structure, ranging from compact garden specimens to larger trees for shelter and landscape presence.

Evergreen trees provide height, screening and a permanent canopy when deciduous trees are bare. They can define boundaries, block unwanted views and give large planting schemes a strong winter framework. Ireland’s mild climate allows a broad range of evergreen trees to grow well, but exposure and mature size are critical. Wind-tolerant species are valuable on open sites, while more tender evergreens need shelter from cold drying winds.

Why It Works in Irish Gardens

Ireland’s mild climate allows a broad range of evergreen trees to grow well, but exposure and mature size are critical. Wind-tolerant species are valuable on open sites, while more tender evergreens need shelter from cold drying winds.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choose a tree by its mature height, crown width, root space and long-term position rather than by the size of the young plant. Consider nearby buildings, boundaries, overhead lines and the amount of shade the canopy will eventually cast.

Planting and Care

Stake only where necessary, keep ties checked and maintain a weed-free area around the base while the tree establishes. Prune selectively for structure rather than routinely shortening the whole crown.
