Speciman plant - not common
| | |
Posted by ajinfante 8b Mount Pleasany (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 04 at 16:04
| I have a new corner of the house where I would like to plant a nice tree/shrub that will be a speciman. I was thinking along the lines of Chamaecyparis obtusa or pisifera for an evergreen or some sort of Dogwood if a deciduous. The corner is SW with full sun almost all day.
Any ideas? |

| How about a Mary Nell or Nellie Stevens Holly? They make a very nice anchor at the corner of a home. they grow fast and really keep a lovely conical form. The Dogwoods are prone to a type of fungal infection that is very hard to treat... |

| I'm growing several obtusa. Love 'em! Cripsii, Filicoides(green), nana gracilis. |
