Evergreen ID? What's it called?
Comments (20)If your cuttings strike, I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to put them in bonsai pots. You'll get the best results if you plant them out (in the garden/beds/yard ....) and let them put some size on. They will grow MANY times faster in the ground than in a pot. If you can't manage this arrangement, them putting them in a very large pot with a soil that drains well enough that it won't compromise their well being will also give fast growth. Inexpensive colanders or plastic baskets used for pond plants work well because of the great gas exchange they offer; and to a certain degree, they promote self-pruning of the roots, which makes for a bore fibrous root system. You don't say what zone you're in - you should include that in your user info. if you're trying to root these plants indoors, you're 99% sure to fail. The plants should be outdoors if you're in zone 7 or higher, and somewhere protected if you're in zone 6 or lower. If they are already outdoors and haven't struck, rooting might not occur until spring. If they were my cuttings, I'd have them buried against the north side of my home's foundation or they'd be on the tables in my attached garage with the rest of the temperate plants that over-winter there. Good to see you, Vance! Vance is a bonsai artist whose trees speak to his abilities. If he hangs around, he'll offer some very good insight. Al...See MoreTwo evergreen IDs
Comments (4)There are quite a few hybrids and crosses of Taxus. They may or may not have berries due to many factors; the previous growing season's anomolies, too much water (a frequent problem), poor soil (drainage, alkalinity), etc. The plant presented is a poor quality plant. I suspect that it actually may be a 'Capitata' yew, a Taxus cuspidata 'Capitata.' Can't be sure 100%. If so, there is some serious problem with the plant. Black vine weevil is a problem in my area - attacks internal foliage and the roots. I would suggest going to the local nursery for advice... Hortster...See MoreEvergreen ID
Comments (2)Cupressus nootkatensis 'Pendula'. Formerly known as, and more readily searchable as Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula'. Someone else was asking about this plant last week, and brought up the fact that there's some variability in this selection, with certain plants being narrower than the one you've shown. I'll link his thread so you can get a look at this. Alex Here is a link that might be useful: recent C. nootkatensis 'Pendula' thread...See MoreSmall evergreen id
Comments (8)Yes: Mr Bowling Ball ('Bobozam') is a juvenile foliage form with grayish needle-like leaves. From the (Jim Zampini) Lake County nursery web site: "Unusual foliage, resembles a Chamaecyparis or fine needled juniper in texture and appearance" http://www.lakecountynursery.com/lcns%20sell%20sheets/Mr.BowlingBall.pdf...See More- 10 days ago
