are the first and second pix the same plant??? ...ken

Yes, I took a close up of the foliage and cones.

Someone with better ID skills than mine needs to chime in, but the first appears to be a golden cultivar of Cedrus deodara. There are a few. Could be 'Gold Cascade'. Second maybe Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns'. Third perhaps Picea pungens 'The Blues' (also sold as Slenderina I think).

Yes, the ones that are horticultural selections where multiple different introductions have been circulated - such as Himalayan cedars with yellow leaves - may not really be identifiable using the method of showing pictures on the web. If you have bought any of these locally and the same kinds may be on display in local gardens or nurseries - now or later - in person comparison of samples clipped from your plants with these specimens may be more direct and reliable.

I think the second photo looks more like Picea Glauca 'Pendula'.

2 th is Picea glauca pendula'

5 th Is cryptomeria japonica cv.

I agree.

1 - Cedrus deodara 'Aurea', could be 'Gold Cascade' or 'Gold Cone' but it looks like 'Aurea' to me. 'Aurea' is usually the one that it more available.

2 - Picea glauca 'Pendula'

3 - Picea pungens 'The Blues'

4 - Picea pungens '?' not sure the cultivar as there are many nice blue ones with similar form.

5 - Cryptomeria japonica 'Compressa' or 'Tansu' perhaps. If it grows less than an inch a year it could be a ginormous 'Tenzan'. Not sure the cultivar. Lots of them. =)

Thanks for the feedback. The Cryptomeria japonica does grow less than an inch a year. I have had it for a least 10 yrs.

Well, looks like an awesome 'Tenzan' to me then. You have a great setting with those rocks.

Too big for a 'Tenzan' of 10 years.

It's probably 15-17" tall. I had it 10-15 yrs., while not knowing the age when I purchased it. But it does grow a inch or less a year. Still to big?
