FAQs for Buying Evergreen Trees Online

What are evergreen trees?

Evergreen trees get their name from their year-round color—these large, lush green trees retain their foliage year-round, even through winter, and are popular for their thick growth and ease of care. A trademark characteristic of evergreens is that they don’t drop their leaves, no matter the weather.

How do I choose the best evergreen trees for me?

When choosing an evergreen tree for your yard, the first step is understanding what USDA planting zone you’re located in so you can be sure your chosen variety is compatible with your location. Additionally, the process for choosing an evergreen variety will depend on if you’re planting one tree or multiples. If planning for a privacy fence, you’ll want to identify how high you want your fence, as well as measure your border to determine how many trees you’ll need. If you’re not sure which evergreen tree to choose, our Plant Experts can help!

How much do evergreen trees cost?

Evergreen tree pricing varies based on the type of tree and size at the time of shipping. Smaller evergreen trees may cost as little as $20, while a mature tree that ranges 6-8 ft. tall or comes in a 10-15 gallon pot might cost several hundred dollars (but will also give you the benefits of a mature tree, ready to plant in your landscape!).
