evergreen tress (non pine/conifer)
Comments (7)Most evergreen Euonymus are smaller plants or shrubs. If you are willing to include shrub-like plants in your search, there are lots of species. If you stick with more tree-like species, there are still quite a few. Some are less common than the ones listed above. Here are some examples: some Arbutus Magnolia virginiana some Michelia Persea borbonia Prunus caroliniana Quercus myrsinifolia Stranvaesia davidiana Trachycarpus fortunei Umbellularia californica...See More5 conifers a NEWBIE must have in Zone 5
Comments (54)Larry.. i will try to simplify it for you ... in a few years.. lol .. your daughter can explain it to you .. lol OD is a descriptive term .... in the olden days... you could name a plant OD .... so there was an OD in a lot of different pines ... as listed above ... they have changed the rules .. and you have to use a real name now ... not a descriptive term ... i think that is the correct way to explain it ... here is an example you might under stand ... Pinus strobus 'Dragon eye Dirty diaper' .. a descriptive term ... lol .. think about it.. rotf .... more properly it should be Pinus strobus 'Pampers' ... or P. s. 'Luvs' or or P. s. 'White Cloud' ... or whatever version you have over the pond ... and you cant have Pinus strobus 'pampers' and a pinus koreansis 'pampers' .. and P thun. 'Pampers' .... the 'pampers' part is 'taken' with the first naming ....thereby avoiding confusion ... especially in Larry's head .. lol ... and mind you, mine.. and every body elses ... your confusion is actually the exact reason for the rule change .... right resin??? any clearer ..??? ken...See MoreBlue Atlas Cedar in NE Ohio

Which conifers to take with me?
Comments (24)Welcome to NC. Gardening in the Charlotte area will provide plenty of new opportunities as well as a seemingly never ending string of challenges as you will discover. Bring as many plants as you can fit . As far as Picea pungens and Fagus, I grow both and they have never missed a beat here in SC just over the border from Charlotte. Abies, however, you might leave behind unless they are on a southern compatible rootstock. A happy Fagus that didn't get the memo about it not liking the South....See Morececily 7A
