which非限制性定语从句疑惑

请问老师:which引导的非限制性定语从句,是修饰前面整个句子吗?which做主语指代“All citrus fruits grow on trees that are evergreen”这件事,对吗?

All citrus fruits grow on trees that are evergreen, which means they don't drop their leaves in the fall.

All citrus fruits grow on trees that are evergreen, which means they don't drop their leaves in the fall. 

网友理解是正确的。which代替前面整句话内容,并在非限制性定语从句作主语相当于下面并列句。

All citrus fruits grow on trees that are evergreen and it means they don't drop their leaves in the fall.

严格说,which指代的是that are evergreen这个分句。因为that指代trees, 所以从语义上讲,that are evergreen=(the) trees are evergreen。而正是(the) trees are evergreen 意味着means)they don't drop their leaves in the fall,这样在语义逻辑上才说得通。All citrus fruits grow on trees跟 which没有关系,应该排除。
