Our Recommend Small Evergreen Trees for Landscaping in Las Vegas

We offer a variety of small trees that can be formed into interesting shapes that are ideal for formal gardens. We can also let them grow as a hedge. Use these evergreens to hide things, create privacy screens, or to create a dream landscape design!

A favorite small tree in our area is topiary Junipers. These junipers are popular because of the dense foliage that makes them an excellent choice for shaping into spirals, pom-poms, poodles, and more. Other small evergreens that people like is the Wax Leaf Privet. The Wax leaf displays white blooms in the spring that contrast beautifully with its glossy green foliage. And, we can easily prune this plant into topiary forms. We have to mention our semi-dwarf trees, too. These evergreen trees provide lots of colors and a pleasing fragrance. Of course, these citrus trees also bear the sweetest and tastiest fruits anywhere!

Wax Leaf Privet (Ligustrum japonicum ‘Texanum’): If you have a topiary garden, the Wax Leaf Privet is a must-have. These highly adaptable evergreens can be shaped into many topiary forms. They look lovely in pyramid form flanking walkways and gateways. We also like to use them in neat, vertical poodle forms where they look elegant in pots, placed near the front door or porch steps. Their glossy evergreen foliage is a key feature, so we like to use them as a lush background. In spring, a profusion of fragrant, white flowers appears to create a picturesque view. We also like to use these evergreens as a large-scale windbreak. Ligustrum ‘Texanum’ have a fast growth rate and a compact form that makes them one of the most versatile evergreens in a landscape!

Junipers (Juniperus): These evergreens are very versatile! People like to use them as a ground cover, privacy screen, or in vertical forms. These are very durable specimens that are built to thrive in our desert climate. We have many varieties available, in different sizes and shapes that are perfect for any landscape in Las Vegas. Juniper topiaries add artistic flair! You can find the most exciting and beautiful specimens at our nurseries. They feature attractive needle-like and/or scale-like leaves that can bring plenty of year-round color to our environment. Plus, once established they require little water!

Braided Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis): We can bring the look of the tropics to landscapes in Las Vegas with our Braided Hibiscus! We custom-grow them! They have had their stems trained together early in their growth, to create an appearance that is sure to attract all the right attention. We consider these plants to be living works of art! They produce the large and bold blooms that hibiscus is noted for. The flowers come in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, and bicolor.  Plus, these evergreen trees stay small so that they can fit virtually anywhere in your landscape. Their exposed trunks add an element of style.
