Beautiful! I could look at this all day!

hi dave .... pic taken recently ....???

thx for the mid winter pick me up ...

ken

Hi Ken....yes I need a mid winter pick me up also. Maybe posting a few photos will get me through. The date taken is on the photo.

You should make a book or calendar and sell it. These photos are incredible. Like Iseli's 12 months of color series.... That Microbiota decussata on standard is awesome. The foliage has that soft look of deciduous conifers like Metasequoia glyptostroboides with the bonus of year round foliage!

Is the green weeper (front/center) Picea abies 'Reflexa' or something else?

Shawn

Shawn...Picea abies 'Farnsburg'. The needles are more short and the overall effect is more refined than
the common 'Reflexa'. 'Farnsburg' prefers full sun in
well-drained soil. If staked, 6' tall x 3' wide in 10 years. Hardy to
-50 degrees. USDA zone 2.

duh on DATED pic... lol ...

Far right; way in the back close to the chain link fence, is that an acer palmatum of some sort (beautiful, glowing white) -- your pics is fabulous as always. Cheers, p.s.: absolutely agree with Dax's comments. Pruning master! Healthy and lush specimens (flawless).

awesome combo of color texture and form.

The whole corner just lit up with colors. Great job!

Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous!

Gorgeous photo! The combination of the Japanese maples with the various conifer colors and textures is beautiful. I've enjoyed the other random shots posted as well.

I also was admiring the standard Microbiota decussata. Is that something you created via training or grafting, or was it purchased in standard form? It has amazing texture!

It was grafted on a high standard.

(sigh) My dream garden.
