Types of evergreens

I suppose you know that there are deciduous and evergreen trees. Deciduous trees are those trees that change their leaves throughout the year and are left without leaves at certain times of the year. On the other hand, evergreen trees are those trees that do not change the leaf and that are all year round with their green leaves and although they bloom at different times of the year, they do not remain without leaves at any time.

If you are thinking of adding this type of evergreen to your garden to enjoy its beauty throughout the year, do not miss the small list that I provide below so that you can choose the evergreen tree that you like the most. or what is best for your garden.

Cork oak

The cork oak is an evergreen tree. It has leaves between 4 and 7 centimeters long, dark green in color and has acorns of about 3 cm in length that are produced from September to January when the frosts are much more numerous. These trees live between 150 and 250 years. The cork oak is a tree that needs mild and humid climates. Its fruits (acorns) are bitter and inedible although they are used to fatten animals, especially pigs.

Acacia mimosa

The mimosa Acacia is a shrub or seedling and is among the 1000 species of the Acacia of Australia. It is an upright tree that looks like a large bush 10 meters high. It has a great resistance to cold something that improves if it is subjected to regular pruning.

These three trees that I just told you about are large trees so you would have to have a garden or an open space where you could plant these trees and they could grow without any problem or with space problems. A tree needs enough space to allow its roots to grow and to be healthy.

Do you know any other evergreen trees that you think are suitable for your garden to enjoy their beauty all year round?
