Natures Privacy Screen - All Year. All Green.

If you are looking for a tree to add to your landscape that will stay green all year round, you want a Moon Valley Absolute Evergreen tree! Evergreen trees keep their green leaves throughout the year, providing much needed color to our landscapes. Whether your goals for your evergreens are for cooling your home in the summer, privacy from neighbors, or blocking unwanted views, Moon Valley Nurseries has you covered! Evergreen trees are a highlight to any yard with their year-round green foliage and low maintenance needs. These trees can stand up to heat waves and handle any water restrictions. Plus, these evergreens are sure to be a beautiful addition to your yard.

Indian Laurel

There are many reasons why our Indian Laurel trees and columns are best sellers at Moon Valley Nurseries. They create instant shade, privacy, and curb appeal quickly (even faster if you get a specimen size!). The Indian Laurels are an amazing evergreen option that performs well in any landscape and will keep its dark, dense and lush foliage all year long. They handle the Southern California sun very well and are drought-tolerant, once established. They grow fast so it won’t take long to see their amazing traits in action. Once the Indian Laurel is at your desired size, you can prune it to almost any shape or size that is best for your landscape needs. We offer three different variations of Indian Laurel: Single-trunk, Multi-trunk, and Column. All three forms are great choices to act as barriers for blocking sun, noise, and wind. The foliage is so dense, it could probably even stop a golf ball from going into your yard!

Magnolia

Magnolias are spectacular trees! For starters, their cream-white flowers not only are impressive enough to simply admire, but they also give off a lovely fragrance. This is one of most elegant trees you can plant in your yard to add a classic feel in your overall landscape design. Its large waxy-like foliage helps the Magnolia tree create a thick canopy, which brings your yard some much-needed shade. Magnolias are hardy trees and absolutely thrive in our sun and heat. Once established, this tree will be the spotlight of your beautiful landscape! This large canopy helps make this tree such an eye-catcher, especially when in bloom. Over time, the Magnolia tree will create a wide reach of shade as the canopy continues to grow.

True Tuscan Olive

Olive trees, fruitless or fruit bearing, are a natural fit in dry climates like our Southwestern region. These trees are cold hardy and resistant to high summer heat.  Certain varieties are self-fruitful and bear the famous rich black and green olives that can be pickled or pressed for oil, if you choose. These are excellent picking fruit, whether green or black and have the outstanding taste and texture that olive fans will love. In fact, these olives are noted as being one of the best table varieties. These certified disease-free olives are the perfect choice for adding year-round interest to any water-wise landscape design! If you are wanting to get some good tasting olives, we recommend planting a second one nearby for the best fruit production. They are also excellent shade trees thanks to a tight growth pattern that creates a full crown and a look that can complement almost any architectural style.

The Gift that Keeps on Growing

Ever get stressed out when you’re trying to think of the perfect gift for somebody that is going to be meaningful and long-lasting? There is nothing better than giving the gift of a new tree to somebody or gifting one to yourself! By gifting a tree, you are giving a one-of-a-kind gift to the persons in your life, truly making it a unique and personal choice. You can also feel good about gifting a tree for the positive effects it has on the world around it. Just one tree can make the air around it cleaner, therefore helping anybody that lives nearby.
