Thanks for the followup, Fairfield. Mine was very small...but I still don't think it would be hardy long term here even if established. A winter like this one is going to occur every 20 years or so...hopefully no more often than that. In Athens, GA one has a shorter duration of cold, stronger winter sun, etc. etc...but it's good to know it is hardier than zn 9. "The other day I noticed the "tree line" at one of the multimillion dollar giant independent garden centers here was down to a fraction of its usual length, as though it was getting to the point where it was hardly worth stocking trees at all." Yeah I'm reminded of calling around the Main Line nurseries for European beeches around the time of the Urban Outfitters buyout of Styers, so 2008-09 ish. When I first became aware of Styers in the late 1990s, their website listed quite a few cultivars of European Beech. By the time I was looking around none of the usual suspects (Waterloo was still in biz back then, with 2 locations) had anything other than a non-named, seedling possibly, "purple beech". The old days when typical people wanted to plant "legacy" trees are gone forever. Since then with Dilworth, John Shelley in York County, and various other such nurseries going out of business, it will become even harder to find such plants. Although I do think in a way it's a net positive that the remaining good mail order nurseries like Rarefind and Song Sparrow will consolidate their ability to market rarities. In the end its better for someone to buy them mail order than to not be produced at all because Joe Public no longer shops for high end plants at local retailers. Also a few hybrid wholesalers/retailers will persist here and there like the generally excellent (though I've had problems with a couple of their plants) Colesville Nursery in central VA. Last time I was there, an elderly couple had driven all the way from New Jersey to buy some Cephalotaxus!

Blue fescue mounds ( Festuca glauca ) definitely make a nice blue accent around conifers. Another silver plant you could use is silver mound or Artemisia schmidtiana "Nana', It makes nice little basketball sized feathery silver mounds. One last plant you might think about is there are several types of Sage that make 18-24" nice shaped silvery green shrubs. Now back to conifers.....I like Cedrus deodora 'Blue Ball'...tight small mounding shape. As for a large cedar you could go either Karl Fuchs which is really thick or Sanders Blue which is thinner and more whispy looking. Both good blue color. On Spruce varietals, your list will shrink quickly if you remove all the types that do not like and would be high risk growing in long hot humid days and nights. The strongest blue color and successful trees in heat would be Hoopsii or Fat Albert ( Fat Albert being the better of the two ). But even those will take a strong watered root system to sustain them. I'm in Oklahoma and a drip system was the only salvation for mine. I've also got an Abies lasiocarpa var. arizonica 'Glauca Compacta' coming for the fall I want to try as a different option to Picea pungens. I have also had good luck with Picea pungens 'Bakeri' when planted as a young tree and given a little break from late afternoon sun. I've tried various Cryptomeria japonicas a few times and have not found one yet that can take our heat. Mark

Friends, let's finish the Cupressus file with Cupressus sempervirens. Most of the shown cultivars are from very dry and vaste areas, and maybe, the past winter photos are not the best way to introduce them. They exist, and gives hope to be hardier as the known cultivar ones. We, living in the continental Europe are searching for similar continental cypresses, of course, and going to find the most hardier, drought tolerant selections. If you are interested of maritime or pazific cypresses, please visit to the marvellous site of the Cedar Lodge nursery in New Zealand. Greg Sampson, the son of David and Noeline Sampson leads a magnificent nursery in New Plymouth, and it's full with cypresses, which are only in our minds, who live in continents. As we fight against frosts and droughts, Greg must select conifers, which are proved the salt see winds. Some of his plants are time to time on Larry Stanley's lists.
