Evergreen is a proper botanical distinction. Evergreen describes any plant that doesn't drop it's leaves after the growing season. Shrubs, vines, and herbaceous plants can be evergreen, too, not just trees. The opposite of evergreen is deciduous.There are thousands if not millions of different species of plants, including trees, that are evergreen. For example, eastern white pine, American holly, and Christmas fern are all evergreen plants. They each have their own scientific names; Pinus strobus, Ilex opaca, and Polystichum acrosticoides, respectively.
