Growing Home - Dwarf Evergreens

Evergreen conifer trees are usually grown because they offer privacy, bird habitat, shade, and block the wind. But many are discovering a new way to use evergreen conifers. They are going small. There are many familiar evergreens that are available in dwarf form, where they only grow a few inches a year and usually don’t get much larger than three to five feet. These dwarf evergreens add year-round greenery to perennial gardens, rock gardens, even in winter…and dwarf evergreens are great for landscaping smaller yards.
