Plants that keep their leaves or needles year-round, for structure, privacy, and winter green in an edible landscape. This collection includes evergreen huckleberry, salal, Pacific madrone, California bay laurel, the native pine nut pines, canyon live oak, the ceanothus, lingonberry, soapweed yucca, and groundcovers like wild strawberries, redwood sorrel, and Oregon stonecrop.
Evergreens make great hedges, screens, and backbones for a planting, and many of them thrive in shade.
