| One of my best buys. I have always considered 'Ogon' a major player in my garden. Always visible from any area of the garden.

| A stunning photo Dave of a wonderful plant. Certainly one of my favorites(I have five, despite it's potential size), yours looks to have weathered your ridiculous heat like a champ. How tall/old is she Dave? -Will |

| Thats a pic from this past spring, right? |
RE: One of my best buys.

| Will, I think It was planted in 2004 or 05. It was about 8 ft. tall and burned severely that summer. I thought I lost it. It came back strong next year and is now 30 ft. give or take. whaas, Wrong it was taken today. Date/Time: 2011:09:09 13:15:30. Click on photo and then go to photo info to the right of photo. It gives you all the camera info along with the time. I don't usually re-post old photo's unless there is some specific need to. Dave |

| Nice, amazing how it helds its color in this heat. In fact everything in that pic looks quite nice! You made it sound like a deadzone in that yard! |
RE: One of my best buys.
| | |
| It was a dead zone. A lot of bare spots where I have removed expired plants. I lost count after 20. This photo doesn't reflect that. My largest one a 12ft. Picea orientalis 'Pendula' was taken out Wednesday and replaced with the 'Green Knight' in the Pinus strobus post. Several others in question . TIme will tell. Dave |

| Ouch, 20 is quite severe. I'm going to take a moment of silence for your P. orientalis 'Pendula'. You know you're an enabler right? I wish I pulled the trigger on the Gold Rush plant I came across this past year. I only passed on it as it had a co-dom leader. I'm now eyeing up 'Snow Flurry'. $60 for a full 6' plant. Its either that or keep watching for Gold Rush. |

| Yes, and I'll tell you it 'Ogon' before Edwin does. (:>) Dave |

| I should be ok, I didn't use 'this' around Gold Rush, lol. |

| Dave, Incredible vista! What is the pine in the front right? Thanks,
Alex |

RE: One of my best buys.

| Nice specimen, Dave. I've got a 1gal coming next week from Girard's. Hoping it's one of my "best buys" as well. At 30' tall, it's what, 8-10' wide? Looks like a well behaved plant. |
