Juniper scopulorum, 'Moonglow', Z 4,5,6,7, DR, Column Mature height - 20'x5', Growth - Slow, Light - S, Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - US Rocky Mtns Dense steel blue foliage column. Fits well in mixed planting with grasses, perennials in hot dry look. Blue foliage mixes well with Eucalyptus in arrangements. Juniper scopulorum, 'Sky Rocket', Z 4,5,6,7, DR, Column Mature height - 15'x2', Growth - Slow, Light - S, Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - US Rocky Mtns Nothing quite like this remarkably narrow blue foliage column. In a small area the only way is up, this plant will certainly take you up without sacrificing any ground space. As with most stunners it comes with a price ! Sometimes in later life branches will be blown out and it can start to look ragged. Metasequoia glyptostroboides, DAWN REDWOOD, , 5,6,7,8, history Mature height - 80'x20', Growth - Fast, Light - S, Soil - Med-Wet, Origin - China Best sited in moist, deep well drained soil but will take wet better than some. Avoid frost hollows as fast growth, (50' in 20yrs) suffers. This tree is one of those dinosaur nudgers, fascinating to think it has been in existence for 100 million years. Soft needles that are deciduous and will give golden fall color.
Picea omorika, SERBIAN SPRUCE, , 4,5,6,7, DR,Shape Mature height - 50'x20', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Europe Close pyramidal nature, less expansive than other spruces. Needles green on top have attractive white underside. Picea pungens, BLUE SPRUCE, , 3,4,5,6,7, DR,blue needles Mature height - 45'x15', Growth - Med., Light - S, Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - SW US, Rocky Mtns. Select 'blue' spruce, grown from seed. As long as its not wet will take on any situation. Picea pungens, 'Fat Albert', Z 3,4,5,6,7, DR, blue needles Mature height - 15'x6', Growth - Med., Light - S, Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - US Rocky Mtns. Grafted so you know you will get a 'blue' spruce and a nice size garden tree as well. As long as its not too, wet will take on any situation.
Pinus sylvestris, SCOTCH PINE, Z 3,4,5,6, DR, blue/green needles,bark Mature height - 45'x30', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh, Soil - Med., Origin - Europe/Asia Very deer resistant conifer, often seen as Christmas tree. Grows up to lose its lower branches and show of stunning flaky orange bark. Part of my heath and heather heritage in the UK. Needles are stiffer than the native 'white pine', sometimes with bluey glow. Bark wins out from fifteen years, and as it reaches middle age naturally looses branches
