'''Evergreen''' is a term used to describe plants that retain their leaves throughout the year. This is in contrast to [[deciduous]] plants, which lose their leaves during certain seasons. Evergreen plants include many types of [[conifer]]s, as well as some types of [[broadleaf]] plants.

== Characteristics ==

Evergreen plants have a number of characteristics that allow them to retain their leaves year-round. These include a waxy coating on the leaves that helps to prevent water loss, and the ability to continue photosynthesis even in cold temperatures. Some evergreen plants, such as [[pine]] trees, have needle-like leaves that are less susceptible to drying out than broad leaves.

== Types of Evergreen Plants ==

There are many different types of evergreen plants, including:

* '''[[Conifer]]s''': These are typically evergreen, although there are some exceptions. Conifers include [[pine]] trees, [[spruce]] trees, and [[fir]] trees.

* '''[[Broadleaf]] Evergreens''': These include plants such as [[rhododendron]]s, [[boxwood]]s, and [[holly]].

* '''[[Tropical]] Evergreens''': These are plants that are native to tropical regions and include species such as [[mango]] trees and [[banana]] plants.

== Benefits of Evergreen Plants ==

Evergreen plants provide a number of benefits, including:

* '''Year-Round Color''': Because they retain their leaves year-round, evergreen plants provide color and interest in the landscape even in the winter months.

* '''Wildlife Habitat''': Many animals rely on evergreen plants for shelter and food, especially in the winter months when other food sources may be scarce.

* '''Erosion Control''': The roots of evergreen plants help to stabilize soil and prevent erosion.
