I have a decent-sized one. I'll try to remember to take a photo.

Here's mine planted last fall.

Sweet !!! Thanks Stuart

Here's mine, planted about 4 yrs ago. I'm going to stake mine as long as I can.

You should leave a space between the mulch and the stem.

Thanks bro...

Embo...Why?

I think what Embothrium is saying is that the mulch shouldn't touch the trunk because it could cause rot.

Coniferbros, is that a small 'Wiethorst'? I ask because I think this one gets often misrepresented as a small tree but once established and happy they can get big pretty fast. My small one has personally been slow the past two years but I've seen some grow 12-18" a year. =)

Garen, it actually is a Pinus cembra 'Algonquin Pillar', which also supposedly grows 12"+ per (potentially). However, it is a narrow upright. It will probably outgrow it's space eventually. I have many plants that eventually need moved to bigger spaces. This one in particular started very small, I've been known to grow things in the garden for a few years until it is of reasonable size to have a permanent place in the garden.

Oh yeah, of coarse, same here. That's the name of the game. let them beautifully mingle together or edit if or when the time comes. =)

Hey Sara, Thanks...looks great!
