		Evergreen Evergreens keep their leaves all year and continue growing slowly in winter. The leaves are protected from frost by their thick, often waxy skin. Some of the older leaves are shed through the year. A few plants such as privet are semi-evergreen, normally keeping their leaves except in cold winters. The leaves of young evergreens can be damaged by cold wind, so give them shelter in exposed gardens.
