Tourists have long flocked to the state to admire its towering redwoods and pristine forests, but its vast greenery doesn’t stop there. Versatile, hardy, and adaptable, the California evergreen is a prime choice for enhancing your landscape at home, especially due to its easy to care for and long-lasting qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike deciduous trees that shed their leaves every year, evergreens boast year-round foliage. Although the word evergreen conjures up images of towering pines, the term actually applies to any tree that keeps its green foliage throughout the year and has the ability to endure cold weather, dry seasons, and humidity. This versatility makes evergreen trees a great option for bringing visual interest to your landscape—even better, they grow fast with little maintenance, helping ensure instant privacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalifornia privacy trees can be enjoyed throughout much of the continental United States when planted in the appropriate USDA growing zone.

Many varieties boast disease resistance, cold hardiness, and drought tolerance, meaning they can be planted without worry. Though care instructions will vary depending on the variety of California evergreen you select, here are some important elements to consider when making your purchasing decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step in selecting the right evergreen variety for your landscape is to take stock of your desired location. Evergreens are a popular choice for creating a privacy border, which helps block traffic and neighbor noise. If creating a privacy border is your intention, you’ll want to measure the area where you’d like to create your wall and how tall you’d like your privacy fence to be. This will help inform how many trees you’ll need and how far apart the trees will need to be planted, to take advantage of the evergreen’s full height potential (crowding will cause shorter trees!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf planting an evergreen as more of a focal point, you’ll still need to make sure your tree has adequate space to thrive and is planted away from buildings, sidewalks, and utility lines. Spacing—from both a height and width perspective—is key as many evergreens can reach as tall as 50 feet and as wide as 30 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn choosing your planting area, the amount of sunlight your trees will receive is also important to consider. Most evergreens require partial to full sun, between 4 to 8 hours, to reach their towering heights. Perhaps most importantly, you’ll need to ensure whichever variety you select is compatible with your growing zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrees.com differs from other nurseries because our Plant Experts specially nurture our evergreens so their roots are strong and can immediately thrive once planted at your home. On initial planting, regular watering will be needed to help settle the roots. But once established, most evergreen varieties can suffice on rainwater alone, unless your area is prone to periods of severe drought\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost evergreen varieties don’t require fertilizing or pruning, adding to their low-maintenance appeal.
