Steve Harris - Cheltenham - Real address steve AT netservs DOT com I grew some from seed but then planted them in a badly chosen spot where they didn't thrive - too much competition. So I didn't get my lovely group of tall elegant pencils like the ones at Westonbirt. IIRC they germinated easily and grew at a similar rate to most Cedars & Chamaecyparis. Yes they're garden worthy if you've got room for trees that big - I will need to come round and do you serious harm if you plant them somewhere where you will be tempted to prune them. Rod |

The message

I am wondering about planting it about 20' SE from the house near the road. I know they grow quite tall but if they are as narrow as at Westonbirt, it shouldn't cast much shade. So the idea is to have something very striking that isn't actually a nuisance.

Steve Harris - Cheltenham - Real address steve AT netservs DOT com I haven't seen a full grown specimen - only the photos of those at Westonbirt. are they *really* that narrow? If so I might find a better place and have another try with them. -- Rod http://website.lineone.net/~rodcraddock/ |
