Conifers – Various
From Thuja to Junipers and the pine trees conifer come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. An evergreen tree that holds a classic teardrop shape without the need for significant space or maintenance. Quite hardy in dry conditions and they like rocky / stony ground. They tick a lot of boxes for me as they provide a majestic, architectural back drop to any garden large or small. Great for screening narrow boundaries and as they don’t drop leaves or litter they can grow above the roof line with no issues.
