| Everyone has at least one. Dave, Ken, Bluespruce, Dan, Mike (Botann) and Will among others have many that I've seen. Its a nice spot in the yard or property that draws your eye whenever you walk past or sit with it within eyeshot. Something that makes you, the gardener, say, "I like that grouping". So let's see you favorite conifer vignette-large or small. Here is mine.
Front: (l) Picea glauca 'Burning Well', Pinus flexilis/reflexa 'Comanche' Arcing backwards: Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana', Picea glauca 'Cecilia', Picea pungens 'St. Mary's Broom', Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Splitrock' Yellow in background: Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Aurea Pendula'. Picture is a bit misleading. The 'St. Mary's Broom' is set back and is about a yard wide while the 'Cecilia' is about 18 inches wide. tj P.S. To Resin, etal, natural groupings welcome as well. |

| This is one of my favourites from our old yard. We moved from this house about a year ago.

| As you know, I am more of a designer than a collector, but sometimes my collector mind interferes with my design mind. I've posted this picture before, but it might be of interest to some that are new to this Forum. 
A bit crowded and busy, but a delight to walk through. |

| All very nice and well thought out. A good place to pull up a chair and kick back. Dave My shady, cool place. A micro climate totally different from the rest of the garden...Dave |

| Dax, I was going to plant a 'Fire Ball' burning bush behind my P. pungens 'Glauca Globosa'...that pic may have sealed the deal. Only a Juniper and Pine grace this pic |

 That big old Pine in the background was the last of my large conifers. I had to have it removed this year because it eventually lost all the branches on the far (North) side, and most of its weight was aimed at the house. It was victimized by wet late winter snowstorms and high winds for years, and I couldn't take the chance. 36" DBH and it's now a huge pile of pine chips. It was a neighborhood landmark, and a great source of pine straw. RIP. |
