Which of the following is an evergreen shrub commonly used in hedges?

• A. Mountain Adromeda
• B. Mountain Laurel
• C. Fragrant viburnum
• D. Pfitzer Juniper

Answer: (B)

Evergreen shrubs that form dense hedges provide year‑round screening, and Mountain Laurel fits that need beautifully. Its broadleaf, glossy leaves stay on the plant through winter, so you get a solid green wall even in cold weather. The plant grows in a compact, rounded habit and responds well to regular pruning, which helps you shape a uniform hedge. Native to eastern North America, it’s also well suited to yard conditions and typically hides gaps in winter foliage, adding privacy and structure to a landscape. While other options may be evergreen, they don’t always offer the same dense, bushy form or broadleaf foliage that makes Mountain Laurel a reliable hedge shrub.
