A Look at Some Door County Conifers

Glad you folks enjoyed, Door County is such a distinct ecosystem in so many ways. Thanks, Tom, for the additional commentary on the geology, which is quite fascinating. While I was there it stormed three times, and while hubby and I were there three weeks ago about three inches fell in two days! We definitely could use some of that rain. I would love to go back and have nothing to do but photograph the flora; class was great, but my attention was divided.

Jan, thanks for showing these pictures, reminds me of a trip there to Dorf Tirol above Meran, saw then those fogs lifting up the mountains in the morning too. Sorry that I was not interested in conifers then. The German speaking part of South Tirol now belongs to Italy, you must have been in that Italian part too, saw some Italian signs in your pictures. The beauty of that area is that most mountains and valleys have great views, nice hiking paths and restaurants with great food and beer on top. Hope you found some interesting w.b.s. Bernd

Hi! Everything previous posters said is true. Congratulations for having them sprout well now you're in for the long wait. A friend of mine grew them from seed and gave one to me in 2012. He said he had them about three years already. Mine has started to branch just last year but still not exceeding 10cm! It is otherwise a very stout plant with very thick stem and all.. and vigorous grower in its own right it just doesn't get far.. Meanwhile I got one much larger about 120cm at the moment and it has grown significantly over last three years approximately 10cm a year.

They're famous for it, the most rugged part of the Alps

fantastic ....

the last picture... you think it was planted 'high' because of clay soil .... rotflmbo .....

just a perfect picture of my theory that trees/conifers are warriors.. and probably suffer more from too much owners love.. rather than benign neglect ... and surely proof that they don't need soil amendments.. nor fertilizer...

thanks for thinking of us.. on one heck of a trip ...

Fantastic ! ....looking forward to the bike ride in the Dolomites !

Should be quite challenging -- and fabulously scenic at the same time.
