Conifers at the Atlanta "Bot" Garden



The Atlanta Botanical Garden has a significant collection of conifers that sadly have become a bit crowded (though we have heard ABOT is planning a broader planting at their new site in North Georgia).

We noticed this particularly interesting use of Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) that had been pruned into an upright hedge. The five plants along the wall maintain their separateness and so appear as five irregular but very upright columns.
