Hampton Court Palace Flower Show (Part 3)As the sun came out, my day at Hampton Court beside the River Thames was getting better, apart from the odd shower. Now I could at last get out and wander on this hallowed ground. Join me as I finish in the floral marquee and go for another trek.

| Posted by ILPARW (southeast Pennsylvania - Zone 6b) on Dec 2, 2019 8:37 PM I occasionally see this tree planted in yards and landscapes southeast Pennsylvania and in the Chicago area; not lots of them. It is the mother species from which many mutated cultivars have been selected. Small needles in flattened, two-ranked branchlets. Tiny brown cones about 1/4 inch long and wide with 6 to 8 scales. Grows about 1.5 feet/year. Native to Japan. It makes a nice coniferous tree. Please don't plant any right along the East Coast where the Atlantic Whitecedar grows, lest it would contaminate the native species somehow with pollen. [ Reply to this comment | |
