ROEDING’S QUALITY Euergneen Trees

The evergreen trees are typically Californian. They represent varieties that 
have been gathered from the temperate regions of the world and many of them 
are erroneously considered California natives, particularly the Eucalypti and 
Acacias, so well have they fit into our planting scheme. Because winter visitors 
marvel at the bright green foliage in winter, the evergreen trees have given 
California more of its “glamor” than any other single group of plants.
