Regarding Ogon Janome: Perhaps you should qualify your request to "someone in the Midwest". I wish I had listened to the locals that warned me not to plant it. I kept trying and kept killing them. The first time I blamed myself. The second time I blamed the weather. After that I had a confluence of stupidity and stubbornness. I hope that someone doesn't respond the the answer to successfully grow it here as I will no doubt be tempted again.

Nice concolor!

Ken, is that a A. procera or concolor under that beech?

If procera...NICE!

Sup with the pots and pans outside?

The Juniperus communis 'Compressa' (looking due pic) caught my eye, it made a reversion which is now bigger then the cultivar itselve...

that commpressa was 4 feet high .. and browned out one winter.. so i just cut it back to green a year or two back ...

under the tricolor.. in full shade ... the dB says :

Abies procera 'Glauca Prostrata' -- sold as 'Prostrata'

leader repeatedly cut out ...

the concolor .... Abies concolor 'Compacta'

concolor 'scooter' is right next to compressa ... in pic 3 .. just above the little yellow bun ...

ken

Ken, from your pic I see that your 'Compressa' reverted on it's left side, if you take a closer look you'll see what I mean.
The tight part on the right is the true 'Compressa'.
If reversions will not cut away they will take over the whole plant...if they get the chance.
