Conifers 
Permanence and year-round beauty 
are not the only attributes of this 
group of evergreens. From large trees 
for specimens and windbreaks we have 
many hard to beat dwarf shrubs for 
foundation planting, ground covers, 
and other uses. They do best in sunny 
location, are not fussy about fertilizer 
and need little pruning. 
too rapid cutting back of tip growth 
encourages bushier specimens.
