conifer confusion 2 of 2

Looks like Thuja, perhaps Thuja occidentalis. It forms quite thick, so can be used hedge in a few years/block a view/screen something. Pick off the brown bits with your hand and add some fresh soil and it will start looking better.

thank you Kildermorie! I'll check up full care instructions for that plant - and learn how to say it proerly, too

Thuja is pronounced thoo-ya

:)

thanks - and there was me rhymin git with oo-jar! *s*

Catches everybody out Fran ;)

grins, one has to be right by accident sometimes - sadly this wasn't it!

You've got a nice selection. Sorry I can't help with their names

ah well, these sort of count as my "practice" plants; I'm going to have to accept that I'll lose a fair few while I'm learning to look after them properly - not to *like* it, just to accept that it's going to happen.

I have a very long list of plants that I culled from my various gardening books; I'm ging to go through it plant by plant and prune it rather severely; then I'll buy specific named varieties, rather than "conifer" from the supermarket.
