Coniferous Shrubs
![]()
Coniferous shrubs include junipers, cypress, arborvitae and pines. They are very popular in our landscapes because they require little care, they look good all year, and they come in many forms. Be sure to plant these shrubs where they will have room to grow without being sheared.
