Abies koreana, KOREAN FIR, Z 5,6, Cones Mature height - 18'x9', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Korea Firs in general are relatively finicky, preferring a temperate pollution free climate. The lure of attractive purple cones born even on young trees; and an attractive white underside to the needled foliage, make this one worth the try. It seems to do alright through our sometimes hot and humid summers.
Calocedrus decurrens, INCENSE CEDAR, , 5,6,7, DR, Frag Mature height - 40'X8', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Western US Saw this in winter at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. Foliage was green, and bark appealing cinnamon red. Not seen very often but we think it is promising and should be used more often. It does well in heat of south. A narrow handsome specimen, with fragrant foliage.
Chamaecyparis pisifera, 'Boulevard', Z 4,5,6,7, DR, blue foliage Mature height - 15'x6', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Japan 'Boulevards 'fluffy' blue/silver foliage makes it like a cloud. I love the texture, of the foliage. Seems very adaptable to a variety of conditions, hot and dry, even a little shade. The only drawback with this plant is dead brown needles toward the interior with age.
Chamaecyparis pisifera, 'Snow', Z 4,5,6,7, DR, foliage Mature height - 15'x6', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Japan White tipped fluffy foliage gives this one its name. Nice addition to white garden. Best sighted in part shade. Looks great if illuminated at night.
Chamaecyparis pisifera, 'Vintage Gold', Z 4,5,6,7, DR, gold foliage Mature height - 2'x2', Growth - Slow, Light - S, Soil - Med., Origin - Japan No fools gold this one. Pleasing if not, exceptional color, that stays all year. Will stay a nice compact size as well. Attractive fern like foliage, not stringy like the more ubiquitous 'Gold Mop'.
Cryptomeria japonica, 'Yoshino', Z 5,6,7,8, DR, fast foliage Mature height - 40'x15', Growth - Fast, Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Japan Have always has a soft spot for the whole Cryptomeria family. This one does well on the East Coast, and has an interesting foliage that will add a different texture to your garden. Sea weed is perhaps a bit of an unkind description, but foliage looks good with a few rock in the bottom of a clear flower vase. Adds something different to Christmas greenery as well. Bark on mature trees is peeling reddish and very attractive.. Very fast grower, sometimes used as screen. Foliage may brown in winter.
