Evergreen Tree

I am looking for a tree for my backyard which is a very young yard (2 years old). I am hoping to find a tree that will provide some foliage all year round, but I don't want a cedar/spruce/pine/etc.
Suggestions?

Hi Cathy, I have heard that the holly trees in your area are beautiful (assuming Vancouver area). I believe they keep their foliage all year. It may be worth looking into.

Well that pretty much leaves out all evergreens that I can think of off hand...Have you looked at the redwood family? I recomend a Dawn Redwood. They have needles that turn red and about a third drop. Very pretty tree I think... Good luck - David
