14 years ago

Hello everyone,

first time visiting after trying to find this info on my own. My family just moved in and were delighted to find some nice but slightly abused landscaping to work with. I just can't figure out what kind of conifers these are and what the others are and how to care from them. Looking for any useful info if possible. Thanks in advance.

I have no Idea how to show pics after reading the instructions....

    There is no place in the conifer forum to upload your photos and we can not see links that show us photos in your computer. You can set up an account at photobucket. Upload each of your photos there. Once uploaded view the folder they are in and hold your mouse over the photo and another box will open with choices. Pick the HTML choice. Copy the information and then come back here and post the information directly in your next message. When you hit preview of the message you are posting, it will show the photo to you which means we are going to be able to see it also when you hit submit.

    go to your link.. hit the view all button.. point at one of the pix .... then right click the HTML code ... it will say 'copied' ...

    and then paste it here where you type .. like this

    then hit PREVIEW MESSAGE button.. if you see it.. we will see it

    that is a weeping larch ... probably Larix kaempferi 'Pendula' .... but i am never sure of the middle name there.. someone will come along and correct me if i guessed wrong ...

    that is a juniper below ...

    i dont have the patience to reload each of your pix ... and personally ... i prefer only one or two pix in each post.. it just becomes overwhelming scrolling up and down ...

    the larix is very poorly sited.. based on it potential growth rate ... its a gorgeous plant.. when given an area about 3 to 4 times the size of this site ...

    take the latin name.. and google it.. and flip to google images

    good luck

    Thanks, but still doesnt help me keep them maintained. Thanks for your "patience".

    Personally, the format to load pics is rediculous, sorry for taking up your time.

    jeez

    conifers are trees... except for transplant.. it is my position that they need NOTHING done to maintain them ...

    since those in the pic above.. are near cement.. a little water once a month or so ... wont hurt

    they are not children.. they do NOT need to be feed ...

    the larix is improperly sited.. and should probably be moved in fall or spring.. depending where you are ... or massacred by multiple prunings ... it can easily grow across that driveway ... and run down that wooden fence ...

    i have gotten rid of most of those type of junipers.. because they are subject to tip blight ... and will cover an area of about 5 to 10 feet square ... and obviously your 2 square feet of area is not proper to its potential ..

    i am sorry you are overwhelmed by actually making the effort to post pix so we can help you ... and i will not bother you any more ... if its not worth your effort.. its not worth mine ... good luck

    ken

    ps: i think the red thing is a Japanese maple.. and there is a tree forum for that

    Thank you ken. Sorry if I came off rude, I have just never had to go through so much to post a pic, I use a Mac so its a little different than most peoples computers to navigate.
    I was more frustrated at myself.
    You helped me identify it and thats what I asked for, thanks again.
    By the way, I grew up in Onsted and hung out at the Adrian mall when I was younger.
    Im not new to gardening just didnt know what the Larix was, I know about junipers and Im in the process of removing them, cant stand them, but they do have their place. There is about five feet behind the larix you cant see, where I already removed half of the junipers.
