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.

There are millions of different species of trees that bear flowers. All flowering plants are called angiosperms. Some angiosperms are trees, others are shrubs, vines, herbs, or grasses. Some examples of flowering trees are sugar maple (Acer saccharum), white ash (Fraxinus americana), live oak (Quercus virginiana), and witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana). There is no one species known as "flowering tree".

Trees that are not angiosperms are gymnosperms. Gymnosperms bear cones instead of flowers. This group includes trees like red pine (Pinus resinosa), arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis),and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum).

Some plants are neither angiosperms nor gymnosperms, but are instead seedless plants. There are no seedless trees, though. All proper trees are angiosperms or gymnosperms.

Conifer (n), coniferous (adj). Not all evergreens are conifers, what about broad leaf evergreens like Holly. There is another name for them but I can't find it, anyone know?

Coniferous trees have cones (like pine cones of a pine tree) and are generally green year round. Deciduous trees shed their leaves in the fall.
