These shapely and statuesque evergreens dominate the landscape in the colder climates where many of the trees and shrubs are dormant during the autumn and winter months. Their significance and impact is further enhanced by the fact that cold weather intensifies the coloration of the foliage, often turning somewhat ordinary plants into eye catching features as the harshness of winter
bites harder.
