What is the other name for evergreen tree?

Answer 1

The following is copied from http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/PARKS/gsgp/infosheets/evertree.pdf additional information is available from that site.

Evergreens are often grouped into two categories, broadleaf evergreens and conifers. Broadleaf evergreens have broad, flat leaves. They also may have showy flowers, such as the southern magnolia, or colorful fruits, such as the Nellie R. Stevens holly. Coniferous evergreens either have needle-like foliage, such as the eastern white pine, or scale-like foliage, such as the California incense cedar. Conifers do not have true flowers or fruits but bear cones. Though most conifers are evergreen, exceptions exist. Bald cypress and dawn redwood, for example, lose their needles each fall.

The following are useful definitions:

• Border - a bed that is longer than wide and planted with trees, shrubs, herbaceous perennials, and/or other types of plants. May be backed by walls, fences, or hedges and is chiefly viewed from one side. Free-standing island beds are a variation on the border.

• Cultivar (cv.) - a cultivated variety designated by single quotes, such as 'Bracken's Brown Beauty'. A variety (var.) or subspecies (subsp.), in contrast, is found in nature and is a subdivision of a species.

• Full Sun - 6 hours or more of sunlight daily.

• Naturalistic Use - native plants that, when properly sited, perform well with minimal care; best used in an informal design that suggests a natural landscape.

• Part Shade - the amount of light in an area shaded part of the day, among deciduous trees with high branches, among deciduous trees with foliage that is not heavy, or among thinned deciduous woods.

• Specimen - an ornamental plant situated alone in a prominent, uncrowded space.

The following is a list of evergreen trees and large shrubs that perform well in the Washington, D.C. area. Recommended cultivars are noted after the scientific name. Plants that are generally grown as shrubs are noted. Most of these plants prefer moist, well-drained sites but will tolerate dry sites. Light requirements, suggested uses, and special cultural requirements or tolerances are listed in the comments column.
