Winter has come to Europe. In some places even too much... And of course, it made us think about which plants cope better with excess snow - coniferous or deciduous? Low or high? And which hedges, deciduous or coniferous (Thuja or Juniperus), are more interesting and decorative in wintertime? And... we have not reached any constructive conclusions...
But since winter and the upcoming holidays mean Christmas trees, i.e. conifers, today we're going to say a few words about the
conifers that are still available at us.
We confirm -
conifers are interesting, they are not boring, they change throughout the year, they delight the eyes with young growths in spring, stable colors in summer, and discolorations in autumn and winter. Moreover, they provide a balance between what is permanent and temporary in garden arrangements.
What constantly delights us is the fact that conifers
adapt so well to the imagination of landscape architects. You can cut (probably) any shape out of them, they are appropriate in modern settings, in the company of modernist architecture, and in historic gardens.
When we want to maintain
privacy and intimacy in the garden all year round, a coniferous hedge will work best (and is much nicer than, for example, a concrete wall).
So much for the introduction, let's get to the details. At the time of writing, we still have a relatively wide selection of
Juniperus. Some varieties in symbolic quantities, e.g. Juniperus pf. 'Mint Julep', Juniperus hor.
'Limeglow', others, such as Juniperus comm. 'Repanda', Juniperus pf. 'Old Gold', Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' or Juniperus scop.
'Blue Arrow', there are more of them, and should be enough for everyone interested.
We highly recommend
Sciadopitys verticillata and Pseudotsuga menziesii, as well as
Taxus, available in several varieties, and
Thuja occ. 'Danica', 'Golden Smaragd', 'Smaragd', '
Sunny Smaragd', 'King of Brabant' and others. Low and high growing. Green and yellow, columnar and spherical.
