Conifers in the Landscape - Duluth, GA

This is a recent garden we have assisted in planning and implementing -- almost completely in conifers. The "pod" is an eye catcher from the street.
Some of our favorite conifers included in this installation are:

Golden Staghorn Cedar (Thujopsis dolobrata aurea) pictured at the right of the pod in its "shrub" stage. This plant will send up a leader and develop into a 10 to 15 foot high conical shaped evergreen. With the golden color it will light the space up.

Skylands Spruce (Picea orientalis 'Skylands') is also in the landscape and adds another golden glow throughout the seasons.
