Blue conifers for wet spot?
Comments (11)Yeah, Chamaecyparis thyoides would be first on the list. You'll simply need to find a blue cultivar. You may also wish to ask if these were grafted or cutting-grown. Cutting Grown would be preferred only if the others were not grafted to thyoides as the root system will play a vital role in water resistance. Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Glauca' 'Blue Sport' 'Glauca Pendula' are a few that are blue. Same on the root systems of Picea mariana. I can't think of a blue cultivar first hand, but these Spruces are water-tolerant as well. Yet, I doubt highly that they will be intolerant of the budworms. I simply do not know. Try Larix kaempferi 'Blue Rabbit' for rapid growth. Dax...See MoreLarix: Diana, Dead Rabbit, and Blue Sparkler
Comments (3)I love the look of larix. I need to add more of them in my gardens. I did buy a bunch of larix understock so I hope that I can add a few to my gardens. Diana and Blue Sparkler are beautiful. ooohhhh Josh great idea about Ken getting into bonsai and making that tree into a bonsai shape. Ken that would really be a beautiful focal point in your garden.

Comments (35)Bill m-n - when weve completely upended mother nature by planting copious amounts of wxotci plantings and taken away habitat for native wildlife and plants then you can no longer play the mother nature card. i strongly encourage everyone to take a stewardship approach to gardening. if you like norway spruce so much - why not just move to Norway? if you want to be in north america then please try to support North American ecosystems. And please stop killing just because someone ate your shrub. they’re hunghungry because you took their land and food. Sandra, You've taken a 'Shoot first and ask questions later' approach by coming onto a public forum and accusing people that you don't even know. The people here for the most part are the most conscientious people I know where nature and conservation is concerned. Why do you just lump everyone into the same bag and figure your job is done? There are people here that have dedicated their lives, working the forefront in the battle for conservation. And where did I say anything about killing? Killing is nature's way. It's how things survive. The weak and sick get thinned out leaving room in the gene pool for only the best and healthiest. It you want things to change, then get together with people that are doing the same and help them to achieve the same common ends. That's what we do....See MoreLarix kaempferi pendula
Comments (12)i said/meant it will scorch ...not turn dead brown ... just a cast of tannish on each needle... not full brown ... i know the pix with the old camera are lacking.. but look at my first pic .... its got the cast ... that is how i noticed it did the same thing as diana .... and ID'd it as kaempferi vs decidua .... the other in the second pic doesnt do it as bad .... also note.. same pic... two waves of needles.... old wood and new wood ... the needles on the new growth remain green.. those on old wood color .... perhaps the plant is sacrificing to maintain the new growth .. both plants are on drip irrigation ... and watered EXACTLY the same ... and planted in the same sun... on either side of the deck .... same sun .. same water.. everything the same.. the diana is out in the pasture.. free range... full sun ... no water .... ken...See Moregardener365
