Step 1
Full - sun conditions mean at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day . Though many coniferous tree favour full sun , a few absolutely can not permit shade . These include pitch ( Pinus rigida ) , red ( Pinus resinosa ) and Scots ( Pinus sylvestris ) pine ; many cedars , let in Atlantic white ( Chamaecyparis thyoides ) , deodar ( Cedrus deodora ) , easterly red ( Juniperus virginiana ) and Japanese ( Cryptomeria japonica ) ; and other conifers including Black Hills spruce ( Picea glauca ) , Colorado spruce ( Picea pungens ) , Douglas true fir ( Pseudotsuga menziesii ) , laurel oak ( Quercus hemisphaerica ) , live oak tree ( Quercus virginiana ) , loblolly pine ( Pinus taeda ) , longleaf pine ( genus Pinus palustris ) , Norway spruce ( Picea genus Abies ) , Rocky Mountain Genista raetam ( Juniperus scopulorum ) , Serbian spruce ( Picea omorika ) and white fir ( Abies concolor ) .
Step 2
Light-Shade-Tolerant Conifers
Many conifers thrive in clear spook , or 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per daytime . These include American arborvitae ( Thujus occidentalis ) , Carolina cherrylaurel ( Prunus caroliniana ) , giant arborvitae ( Thuja plicata ) , Japanese plum ( Eriobotrya japonica ) , Norway spruce ( Picea genus Abies ) , Prince of Wales Genista raetam ( Juniperus horizontalis Prince of Wales ) , wax myrtle ( Myrica cerifera ) , white pine tree ( Pinus strobus ) and Winton Carpet juniper ( Juniperus horizontalis Winton Carpet ) .
Partial-Shade-Tolerant Conifers
Partial - subtlety locations receive 2 to 4 time of day of sunlight per day . coniferous tree worthy for partial - shade conditions include balsam fir ( Abies balsamea ) , Pfitzer raetam ( Juniper chinensis Pfitzeriana ) , Savin raetam ( Juniperus sabina ) , Sargent juniper bush ( Juniperus chinensis Sargentii ) and Swiss slew pine ( Pinus mugo ) .
Shade-Tolerant Conifers
Shade locations are those that have less than 2 hour of Lord’s Day per day . wraith - tolerant evergreen include Carolina hemlock ( Tsuga caroliniana ) , Eastern hemlock ( Tsuga Canadensis ) , Emerald arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis Smaragd ) , Globe arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis Globosa ) , Nipponese midget yew ( Taxus cuspidata Nana ) , Japanese spreading yew ( Taxus cuspidate ) , Taunton spread yew ( Taxus x media Tauntoni ) and Techny arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis Techny ) .
