Western Native Conifer Trees

If you plant an evergreen tree native to your region, it will usually perform better than foreign species. Evergreens make great year round privacy screens and windbreaks. These native conifers do well all along the West Coast and all require acidic soils. Conifer bareroots are best planted in winter or early spring.
