Evergreen Trees

Evergreen trees get their name from their year-round color—these large, lush green trees retain their foliage year-round, even through winter, and are popular for their thick growth and ease of care. A trademark characteristic of evergreens is that they don’t drop their leaves, no matter the weather. 

Evergreens are one of our top categories at Fast Growing Trees because of their fantastic ability to create privacy screens. Within this category, our most popular varieties include arborvitae trees, juniper trees, holly trees, cypress trees, and spruce trees.

Evergreen trees are our speciality and some of our most popular trees, with many of our evergreens averaging rating of 4.8 stars or even higher. Some of our top-rated evergreen trees include:

• Thuja Green Giants boast a 4.7 star rating among customers, who note their healthy and beautiful look upon arrival.

We carry a number of fast-growing evergreens, which are defined as growing at least two feet or more per year—but evergreens that are part of the Arborvitae family, like the Thuja Green Giant and Emerald Green, are known some of the fastest growers, making them incredibly versatile in the landscape.

When choosing an evergreen tree for your yard, the first step is understanding what USDA planting zone you’re located in so you can be sure your chosen variety is compatible with your location. Additionally, the process for choosing an evergreen variety will depend on if you’re planting one tree or multiples. If planning for a privacy fence, you’ll want to identify how high you want your fence, as well as measure your border to determine how many trees you’ll need.
