Brewer spruce is quite distinct when seen in person, with needles much longer than most spruce. Marc, the mountain hemlock does very well here, but is exceedingly slow growing, while not dwarf. The tree in the photo was planted 16-18 years ago. It is a variety named "Mt. Hood", with foliage more glaucous than the species, although not apparent in the winter. The Thuja plicata is a variety named "virescens", with finer textured, more yellow-green foliage than the species. Several Thuja plicata varieties have become popular over the last 10 years due to their resistance to deer browse.

My guesses for the trio are: Tsuga heterophylla Tsuga mertensiana Juniperus occidentalis Nice yard! -Don Date: Mon, 4 Jan 2010 14:11:27 -0500 Subject: [ENTS] Conifer quiz From: [email protected] To: [email protected] ENTS- Here are photos of three North American, but not eastern, native conifers, each from a different genus. Photos 1&2, 3&4, and 5&6 go together. The first one is about 6' in height, the second about 14', and the third about 7'. All are growing in my yard in N Ohio. Any guesses?
