evergreen tree leaves
Evergreen tree leaves are a fascinating feature of countless gardens across New Zealand. Unlike deciduous trees, which shed their leaves in autumn, evergreens maintain their lush foliage all year round. Whether you're looking to create a privacy hedge, shelterbelt, or vibrant focal point, understanding the unique qualities of evergreen tree leaves can help you choose the right species for your landscape. These persistent leaves ensure consistent colour, texture, and structure in your garden, thriving in a variety of soils and climates.
