Hi,
I just wondered if there was a site or something I could look at to
determine what type of conifer I have, ike by looking at the pictures and
comparing.

I thought I had 2 juniper conifers, but after searching for some information
about them, I am now not so sure, because the pictures I have seen so far,
are different than the ones I have.

Thanks

There are an enormous number of conifers and an enormous number of
different varieties of juniper! Another way is to look at the plants
themselves - go to a local nursery and compare yours with the variety
there. High Trees up near Yeadon airport has a good range of conifers.

Hi Kay, yes I can well appreciate there are an enormous number of different
varieties!
I suppose it was a bit too much to ask. Yes I think that would be the best
way....go to a local nursery.
I'll keep that one up near Yeadon in mind.

Thanks

Or perhaps Bob could get a well illustrated catalogue from a conifer
specialist and do the comparisons that way?

I thought of you when I was up there today ... junipers come in all
sorts, from cypress look-alikes to things which almost look like pines,
and of course lots of colours. best of luck! Sacha's idea is a good one,
to look in catalogues. I was wondering whether to recommend one of the
'ornamental conifer' books - IME plants websites haven't yet got the
wealth of text and other diagnostic features that you find in a good
book.
