These aren't pictures.

They were documents converted to images, this is a list

Have you field tested these before recommending them to others? What are your professional credentials?

It’s from what I’ve seen online and outside on what does well

I’ve tested some and have seen other people test them. I am a home gardener, again, these are just my observations

Thanks for the suggestions. I am in Virginia (northern), but it is nice to see possibilities. I will cross-reference with some on our native VA flora database. I like seeing suggestions from other gardeners. I suspect we all know we can check with professionals, too, but personal, home gardening experience is always good to have.

You will notice that your additional image has already got separated from your original post and it will gradually drift further away. For future reference you can add photos in the comments box below your own post.

lawson are extremely variable in z5... meaning they all died for me... thats the only one that caught my eye..

visit local arboretums and gardens.. and use the info gleaned form what is grown locally.. rather than rely on lists.. always consider the source fo the list... often list makers have no clue about your garden.. your soil.. your micro climate.. etc...

if you join the ACS .... you can find local society members.. and make local friends....

you can reply to this post and add you last pic...

ken

The Lawson Cypress are super common here for us

In general this list is mostly reasonable. i lived and grew conifers in NE Ohio off/on most of my life. Cedrus is not reliable in my opinion. Definitely go to the Secrest and Holden Arboreta for starters. You’ll see extensive, mature conifer collections at both sites. it gives you a sense of what does well here. Also, get out and visit Bill Barger and other NE Ohio conifer growers. NE Ohio is very different climatically than even central Ohio. Abies, Picea, Larix etc do better in this region. its cooler and less prone to droughts and heatwaves. Of course it gets the most snowfall also. Larix laricina, Pinus strobus, Tsuga canadensis, and Taxus canadensis, Juniperus communis are all native to NE Ohio and several apecies have naturalized (Abies balsamea, Picea abies, Larix decidua, Pinus nigra, Pinus sylvestris..)…

Several Firs missing from that list and general commentary:

• Abies homolepis
• Abies holophylla
• Abies borisii-regis
• Abies cilicica
• Abies veitchii

Don't just lean out and look over the cliff; jump!

I said more commonly found. I would almost never find those at any local nursery

You don't say what you would consider local. I have purchased all of those species from Ohio nurseries - most in the Lake County area. A. cilicica came from Hamilton County.

Any nursery in the NE OH area

Preferably Portage, Summit, or Cuyahoga county

looks like a good list to me, I think platycladus orientalis might have a chance as well. I don't know it seems like half the time conifers are brought up people get grouchy for no apparent reason lol.
