overview of part of it

pic from the back.. including the MPI... which will be the next bed presented

{{gwi:860901}}

Abies concolor 'Candicans' .. a very blue plant... very soft ... VERY fragrant ... some argue that its form is lacking .... another with multiple leaders.. did i mention i blame the robins... they just HAVE TO land on the very top of the plant in spring.. and they damage terminal shoots at bud break ... i can think of no other reason i have so many ... i have ruled out indian burial grounds ...

{{gwi:666348}}

Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsi' ... a look alike, at purchase, to another in the yard ... we will come to it later .... that one is glorious ... this one ... well ... you see it ... another one i would term 'die or recover, but get over it' .... weirder the better i guess .... i tracked back to the supplier who suggested they were TN grown ... which led me to the conclusion that in the first REAL MI WINTER, warm zone stock can be confused into death or near death ... one made it one didnt.. and all the needle loss you see occurred in spring, after its first winter ... that or they were field grown, as you can see its height.. and it was a poor 'dig' ...for cryingout loud.. die or recover.. geez ..

Juniperus chinensis 'Gold Lace' ... frankly VERY SIMILAR to daubs frosted... and saybrook gold ... the former previously posted .... i FIGURE.. that ultimate shape or form will be the difference .. and a close up .. or 3

Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip'

{{gwi:860908}}

Juniperus squamata 'Star Dust' ... one of my favorites ... if covered in snow.. it retains the cream... if no snow.. it tends to burn off ... cream and blue ... awesome .. and some close ups

Larix kaempferi 'Diana' ... not much to look at in winter .... hard to see the contorted branches .... and a close up ... look deep into the picture for soon to be posted plants ...

{{gwi:860909}}

{{gwi:860910}}

Picea pungens 'Glauca Pendula' ... one of my first .. its blue.. what can i say

{{gwi:637762}}

a current and future star .... Pinus contorta var. latifolia 'Chief Joseph' .. many views

{{gwi:625663}}

{{gwi:625666}}

{{gwi:625670}}

Pinus flexilis 'Navajo' .. pretty new.. not much known or to say about it

{{gwi:627209}}

Pinus mugo 'Honeycomb' ... 4 pix ... have high hopes for it .. a pic with actual sunshine might make it glow a bit more

{{gwi:860911}}

{{gwi:860912}}

{{gwi:860913}}

{{gwi:860915}}

Pinus strobus 'Pendula' ... been working hard at getting it to height ... went nuts with cones this year ... kids are finally old enough to have not ripped them all off and brought them to me .. lol ... both ran to get me to show me this time

{{gwi:713964}}

{{gwi:713966}}

{{gwi:713968}}

Pinus sylvestris 'Globosa Viridis' .. star of a prior post .. no need to cover that ground again.. search for it, if you are interested ....

{{gwi:860918}}

Thuja occidentalis 'Globosa Aurea' .. why trim a plant into a globe .. when you can buy one that does it all itself ...

{{gwi:860920}}

Thuja occidentalis 'Sunkist' .. a really nicely colored thuja .... hard to photo ... the close up is my best shot so far ...
