| 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. T.J. |

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

| 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! |
