Does this Cedrus has prostrata form? Because I use to have and used in rock gardens Cedrus deodara "Feelin Blue". I just love it.

Haaa....good memory but it's short... thanks Bluespruce.
Douglas Fir...false hemlock?? any idea why it was given that nomenclature?
Spruce (picea), Pines (pinus), tsuga (hemlock) bear their cones downward...firs (abies) upward. ???
My family remedy for bronchitis and congestion is a balsam fir pillow.
Usually a small linen bag full of the buds of the balsam fir. tucked under the pillow of a sufferer. When I was very young many years ago...we always tried to select a balsam fir for our christmas tree because it was so aromatic. Their cones have a projection...we used to call it a candle... that looks like nature has already partially decorated the tree with tiny candles..lol...

Cones up it's a spruce, cones down it's a pine? Am I right?

how do you manage to keep your conifers looking so healthy? I have a couple starting to look a bit gaunt! Beautiful garden, by the way! Ewan.

Is this one perennial? It seems some are and some are annuals....I grew some Pennisetem a few years ago, but they turned out to be annual ones...tut.
