03/2022: Planted along driveway circle next to hinoki cypress
UPDATE JULY 2022: Sadly I assumed this plant was getting enough water when in fact the root ball completely dried out (it was terribly root bound). Of course I only noticed this after the interior needles started dying. It looks like hell at the moment but I’m hoping it will spring back next year. If it’s dead in the center next year I will probably pull it, but I’d like to try again with a new specimen or two, it’s a lovely plant and grew really well over the spring.
This ended up on my plant wish list after seeing it growing in some shade on a Horttube youtube video. The south driveway circle gets quite a bit of sun in summer but maybe not exactly ‘full’ sun, so I’m curious to see if and how much the color changes over time.
