October 2011 - Conifers

Evergreen trees large and small.

Conifers come in a vast range of colours and many change shade through the year. Careful choice can give you a splash of colour in Autumn and Winter.

Because they are evergreen often with strong shape, conifers are perfect for bringing shape, height and form to your garden. There are a number of options:

Columnar - tall and narrow, cylindrical:                                                                                These are great used in a shrub border to give extra height, at the end of a vista or as a feature set in the lawn.
Pyramidal - pyramid shape, narrow at the top, wide at the bottom:
These can make a stunning feature in the middle of a large lawn, or they can be used to hide unsightly features.
Globose - spherical, bun shaped:
These conifers look amazing as punctuation points at the apex of a border, on either side of entrances, or giving strong shape in a border of daintier perennials.                                                                                                                               Dwarfs - tiny conifers which reach a height of three feet at most:
These are brilliant in containers and rockeries and provide year-round interest.                                                     Interesting colour:
Apart from the whole palette of different blues, greens, golds, greys and bronzes which conifers include, there are some which change colour as the year goes on.
