Pictures of my 4 new conifers! ID's please!

11 years ago

My uncle recently gave me 4 conifers on Mother's Day but does not know the ID for them. I am so excited! They are going in the ground today.

Conifer 1: is a round gold ball.

Conifer 2: blueish pine. Varying needle lengths.

Conifer 3: almost looks like a little bonsai! The smallest of the 4.

Conifer 4: my favorite one! Seems more treelike.

More pics available if needed! Thanks for looking.

2. Pine of some kind? swiss stone??
3. Juniper of some kind, maybe a juniperus virginiana cultivar?
4. Cryptomeria - Maybe Black dragon?

This is what you got:
1. Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold'
2. Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri'
3. Juniperus x pfitzeriana 'Sea green' aka 'Mint Julep'
4. Cryptomeria japonica 'Compacta'

I agree with Edwin, the Crypto is o.k.
Sometimes sold as 'Lobbii'.

The others are also o.k. ;0)

It looks like the messenger disappaered, maybe she broke her foot while she was digging a plant hole...

Wow you guys are awesome! I'm planting these tomorrow so I'll have pics of them in the ground this weekend. They all seem healthy so I expect them to do great! My yard is pretty much devoid of evergreens so I know these will really enhance my yard :) Only problem is they all seem to need full sun.

Thanks!
