hey wictor

i dont get why you havent gotten any answers.. in two days..

i am thinking there are just too many for one post ...

break off the blue one near the bottom .. into a new post ...... get a pic with a scale.. perhaps the needle length.. and see if you can get an answer to an easy one..

if you do.. then try another..

as you are finding out.. they all look the same ... so putting 20 in one post ... makes it tricky ...

the blue one.. reminds me of wingles blue bonnet.. but i dont even know if they are the same species... that one should not be hard to ID.. but i wonder how many peeps got 20 down..

good luck

Hey Wiktor, I was wondering the same thing...

I guess I can help you to identify some of your conifers.

Who was that "some nursery" in Holland? There are only a few specialised in conifers and I'm pretty familiar what they're growing.

I have this lovely retaining wall ... and i want to .... cover it year round. ==>>>> well i surely dont understand why you want to cover it.. its magnificent ... ----------------- *Weeeping Alaskan Cedar 'glauca pendula' - I asked the nursery guy specifically if this was going to get too big and he told me that this one would not. True? ====>>>>> he is delusional ..... see link below for size potential ..... if it were me.. i would put in about 20 MINI conifers ... something like will had on his hillside .... most of those you list.. will grow 1 to 1.5 feet per year .. once established .... and will easily outgrow that spot inside 10 years .... where are you.. what zone 5 ... summer temps make a difference ... any adversity to mail order of smaller stuff .... is your local supplier able to order from iseli now for fall delivery.. or in spring ... look into CHAMAECYPARIS nootkatensis 'Green Arrow' .. for somthing EXTREMELY narrow .... and tall .... maybe two on each end .... with something yellow in between .... copy paste this into your browser: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=l4N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&&sa=X&ei=KL92TLPwNoGxnAeW0uWcCw&ved=0CCMQBSgA&q=chamaecyparis+nootka+green+arrow&spell=1 i would go to great lengths.. to avoid covering any of that great wall .... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link

Ok, what is it with these plants - more often than not, I see a nice photo of a beautiful evergreen and it takes my breath away! I'm liking the looks of Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'glauca pendula'. It doesn't look particularly blue in the photos I've seen. Any thoughts on how it will look next to this pyramidalis stuff? Gosh I would love to get rid of those (they don't take my breath away!). The textures seem like they could be too similar. Green arrow is probably a bit too narrow - but maybe it is just because I am seeing pictures of juvenile plants? I will definitely have some mini conifers in the area in front of the house. I have been known to leave the nursery with those cute little ones that fit great in a winter pot (but get quickly buried in a summer pot). Maybe someday my 6" dwarf hinoki nana lutea will be big enough to go in the garden... I saw a Picea Omorika "Riverside" a few weeks ago. It was a nice tree, but it looks like the spread is up to 15, which might be a bit much for me. A lady I was talking to at the nursery said she really likes the Vanderwolf Limber Pine. It was a very soft tree, 15-20 high x 8-10 wide the tag said. I've been looking for pictures of some of the cedrus deodar narrow forms - in particular, quiksilver was one I read about but haven't seen anywhere. What about cedrus atlantica's here in the PNW? Do they do ok? I see the weeping blue atlas cedar everywhere, but fastigiata looks interesting... So, I have to laugh about the "how to move a rhody" discussion. I have never been "gentle" to them when moving them. I stick that shovel in wherever I can get it through the roots and then lever them out and drag them across the yard by whatever means I can to a better spot. I started out moving them in the fall or spring, but have done a couple in the height of summer. I swear you can't kill those things here. One of them blew over in an ice/wind storm while I was out of town and was sideways for a couple weeks before being put back in the ground. It didn't even blink. I have to believe there are people in the PNW that consider them weeds they are so tough! And I love them for that!

Thank you Ken for your sugestion! I would try to change my big mistake!
I decided to put on this one post so many pictures, because I'm not often guest on gardenweb forum... And I though that It will be better for all (me and all forum people) but I was totally wrong... Sorry about that!!
I am going to delete this post and make a new one with a few picture, max 5. I hope it will be good..
Coniferjoy: I have no idea which one Holland Nursery sold this cultivars... Seller didn't told me which one, because he didn't remember..

I'm no where near as knowledgeable as the other folks on these forums but since no one else has chimed in so far I'll give it a go on the last three.

#18 Abies pinsapo 'Horstmann'

#19 Looks like Abies nordmanniana to me. If not Abies nordmanniana 'Golden Spreader' Then my wild guess would be something like Abies koreana 'Goldener Traum' but the branching looks too horizontal in your photo. Edwin will correct my horrible guess on this one. =^)

#20 Abies procera 'Blaue Hex'
