Comments (15)Thanks everyone. Alex - I may have to try your approach on the recurva. Thats if it makes it through the summer. I wouldn't have thought of that. =^) Dave - Nice suggestion on the Cryptomeria japonica 'Tansu'. I have been needing a Cryptomeria. 'Tansu' has been add to the list. The screen is for no other than Picea orientalis 'Skylands' for the suggested 2 year screening. It needed screening from the top as well as the side last year. Had some burn. It seems to be doing great with just the side screening this year. I think the screen will come off next year. Yay, no more giant tent in the yard! I changed Picea glauca 'Echiniformis' to Picea mariana 'Ericoides' in my database. Just what I needed. Thanks. I have one Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode' that's looking beautiful. I may replace some of the Creeping Jenny with more 'Mother lode' or it's slightly faster growing twin, Juniperus horizontalis 'golden carpet'. The Creeping Jenny is quite nice and not difficult to remove where I don't want it but the juniper would be less to maintain in the long run. Though the creeping Jenny does create an excellent weed shield I'm afraid my beds could become nothing but gold in a few more years. Has anyone done a mixed planting of Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode' and 'Blue Carpet'? Thought that may look interesting weaving in and out of each other. Ken - Yeah, I will probably throw a little mulch around the Pinus parviflora 'Catherine Elizabeth'. I have a hard time judging my soil as it varies all over my property. I have a lot of clay and my beds crack heavily every year. I get confused because the beds will have huge cracks but then I stick my finger down in the crack and it's moist below most of the time. We've had a lot of rain this year but my soil still cracks. I kind off like the cracks because the rain washes the older mulch into the cracks thus improving my clay soil. So I like to tell myself. I've gotten to the point of not worrying about it too much anymore. I just plant and hope for the best. It's interesting to roll the dice and see what will survive and what thrives in my climate. Matt - I have about 5 acres. Most of it's covered in Indiana jungle but I may hack it a way here and there to add more conifers. The 'Ogon' was planted as a mail order 5 footer in 2010. Ha ha, I mail ordered a 5 foot tree after I gave away my 1 foot 'Ogon'. I guess I'm impatient. She took off last year and grew 4 feet. It looks like she may put on some crazy growth again this year. My little garden crew only comes out when I'm gardening. We have bald eagles that I have to keep an eye out for. Man they are huge birds! I was out near the coop one day when I saw a female bald eagle swoop down on the coop and run into the fence. Scared the crap out of me because it took my stupid brain a few seconds to register what it was. Thanks again for inspiring Some older pictures of the property that I posted last year too....See MoreHeat Tolerant Conifers 2
Comments (44)cannot speak to heat tolerant conifers sad to say but i thought i would speak up for the surprising adaptability of Mexican conifers (Mexican oaks as well) to seemingly very different climates and localities. i have had gratifying success growing a number of species (likely mostly from areas with a summer rainfall maximum) here in the summer cool and dry (winter very wet) pacific north west (oregon coast)---including pinus montizumae, p. patula, p. pseudostrobus, p. estevezii,, cupressus montana, c. guadalupensis, and podocarpus matudae---.wonderful trees that once established seem to do well with little or no additional care....See MoreDidn't make it past spring
Comments (25)Looking back over the years I have found out that Pinus strobus are usually the first conifers to succumb to adverse weather conditions in the Midwest. Most are vulnerable to excessive heat and drought. They need just the right amount of water to survive under these conditions. To much water or not enough will do them in. I also have foud if they are root bound even the slightest amount that could spell trouble especially if you do surgery before planting. I am currently down to one, 'Angel Falls'. I might have another cultivar lurking some where. It came as a conifer grown in a wooden box. A big conifer that when unpacked had a very fine root system and was not the least root bound. It has performed beautifully over the years. The key for survival with these cultivars centers in the roots. I think they need to be spot on for any chance of survival. Bump them out of the pot at the nursery before you purchase them. Most will be rejects. "I might have another lurking somewhere". I need to go find it. Pretty bad when you don't remember what you are growing. Dave...See More- 8 years ago
