Welcome to Wingard’s Evergreen Trees
We carry a large variety of trees and sizes, and those shown here are among the most popular year after year. At Wingard’s, our trees are organized into those that are evergreen, principally used to screen structures, fences, etc; others are flowering and deciduous, meaning that they lose their leaves in the Fall, and produce a beautiful bloom; trees that provide shade are generally taller and deciduous; others are trees that require shade, such as dogwood trees. We have organized them here in the same way as you would see them when you visit our nursery. If there is a specific cultivar that you are looking for, stop in or give us a call at 803-359-9091.
