MY Conifer Kingdom conifers
Comments (8)Those guys seem to add free conifers to many orders. You'll get a nice buck from that 'Aurea' if you sell it on ebay since you already have a large specimen. That's a 25 dollar plus, tree. Have a great day, Dax...See MoreWhat is your favorite conifer purchased this year?
Comments (32)Dave, Oh for BEAUTIFUL. I love your Angel Falls. I do have to get that one for SURE. Does it need to be staked up until you want it to begin weeping down? That is really a nice looking plant. Thanks for the information regarding Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Melody'. That is a really different looking plant. Severnside your Pseudotsuga menziesii 'Dandy Doug' does look like a little creature standing and reaching out with its little arms. LOL Adorable. I can see it is not a good idea for me to see everyone's photos of all these conifers. I'm weak and want them all. LOL...See MoreWhat dwarf conifers to plant?
Comments (12)Thank you, I'm going to be spending a lazy afternoon looking up all those plants and links. My next question would have been where to find them, I'm not sure there are any readily available around here, but I'm going to look in the spring. I did find Fairweather Gardens online for pines. I don't want to pay high prices for really big plants, but I don't want to get seedlings in 3" pots, either so it's hard to know where to order online. My beginning choices for pines were Pinus parviflora "Arnold Arboretum Dwarf", or "Banshoho" Dwarf Japanese black pine. Any ideas or experience with those two? I know black pines will grow in this area, we had one at our former house. I also found Chamaecypris Hinoki "Rigid Dwarf", and arborvitae "Holmstrup" which looked as if they might be promising for upright varieties, I might have spaces for two or three upright conifers. The rest should, I think be lower shapes. Blue Spruce and dwarf Albertas are about the only spruces that seem to live and do well here, but neither are suitable for my garden. I do love the look of spruces so I will consider the ones listed. I do understand about the difference between dwarf and mini, and the 10yr growth estimate, which is why I always look at the ultimate height. I don't want to be cutting anything down in 15 years and they can't be too big because of the cypress. I've been trying to look at more than one description of each one at different sites as I find that the sizes vary depending on who is telling it, lol! We don't have clay soil here, btw, it is upland rocks. There is a saying here that if you don't see the mountains (the Ozarks) dig down three inches and you'll find them. I do have pretty good soil with lots of compost(between the rocks) but it is very dry in July and August. We are in zone 6b with microclimates of z7....See MoreCan you identify this one Conifer out of my neighbor's Xmas trees?
Comments (4)Closer view needed. Ideally with fully developed cones present. Fraser Fir is notoriously disease and pollution susceptible - is in fact having problems in the wild - so unless you happen to live in an area where it has been getting by you may not want one anyway. True firs (including this species) are highly prevalent in gardens of my part of USDA 8 but a typical syndrome is for them to become infested and shabby over time - perhaps after a grace period of many years. So a small example like the one in your picture being attractive does not necessarily guarantee that these are a long term success there. You should look around for older ones, see how these have been holding up. And ask plant people in your area about what results are typical....See MoreSara Malone (Zone 9b)
