non deciduous trees
If you want year-round foliage, structure, and a vibrant landscape even in the depths of winter, non deciduous trees are the perfect addition to your New Zealand garden. Non deciduous trees, also known as evergreen trees, retain their leaves throughout the year, offering continual greenery, privacy screening, and habitat for native birds. Whether you're designing a windbreak, bordering your property, or searching for a feature tree that provides a lasting impression through every season, you'll find non deciduous trees incredibly rewarding to grow.
Quercus ilex
Quercus ilex, commonly known as the Holm Oak or Evergreen Oak, is an evergreen tree with lush foliage. The dark green leaves are glossy and complemented with small, yellow-green flowers in spring which result in acorns in autumn. The Holm Oak will typically grow to 15 m tall and 10 m wide with a rounded, dense crown. Quercus ilex is often grown as a specimen in extensive gardens and parks, but is also well-suited to Mediterranean-themed gardens.

Daphniphyllum macropodum
Daphniphyllum macropodum is a truly impressive evergreen tree. The young growth in spring resembles masses of miniature Cycads and has red hues. Older foliage sits as a rosette with a downward arch and is dark green. The combination of old and new foliage produces quite a dramatic display and affords the tree a lush appearance. Clusters of small, cream flowers in spring result in purple berries in autumn. It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of moderate frost once established. This evergreen is typically grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a courtyard garden, included in a tropical garden, or planted around outdoor living areas.
