TYPES OF EVERGREENS 
To enable us to give accurate brief descriptions of 
Evergreens, we classify them into six types shown above. 
Large, roughly conical, medium to coarse texture. 
Narrow conical to columnar, medium to fine 
texture. 
Broad conical, medium to fine texture. 
Globose, including elliptical and flattened globe. 
Spreading, bush-form, not prostrate. 
Flat, prostrate or procumbent. 
MAXIMUM HEIGHTS 
These vary under different conditions. The figures giv- 
en represent an average—not the extremes. 
RATES OF GROWTH 
These also vary, but we give an approximate average 
rate per year, also the key letters used in the code. 
VR—very rapid—over 18 inches. 
R—rapid—12 to 18 inches. 
M—medium—8 to 12 inches. 
S—slow—4 to 8 inches. 
VS—very slow—under 4 inches. 
TRANSLATION OF DESCRIPTIVE CODE 
We condense the above information into code form as: 
B—18’—M. Reference to the above explanation indicates 
that the tree described is a narrow cone or column, a 
usual maximum height of eighteen feet, growing from 
eight to twelve inches a year.
