It seems like it's usually the other way around, but maybe that's because I lust after the plants that are more readily available in the U.K.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-38130019057200291222014-05-19T12:55:28.294-07:002014-05-19T12:55:28.294-07:00Writing this reminded me that this tree can be cop...Writing this reminded me that this tree can be coppiced, even cut to ground level, to control its size and refresh it. I wonder if this would allow you to fit it in your yard?

I love that foliage so much. Usually what I do when I'm lusting after a tree I can't have is find one in a nearby garden and watch it through the seasons, kind like adopting it. I drive by and think, "how's my monkey puzzle tree looking today"...sadly the only Cunninghamia lanceolata 'Glauca' I know of nearby is in an enclosed garden. I am on the hunt!danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-90334511506303583612014-05-18T07:59:43.048-07:002014-05-18T07:59:43.048-07:00A grove of Cunninghamia trees, several red Maples ...A grove of Cunninghamia trees, several red Maples and smoke bushes followed by a few bronze Rhododendrons. In full bloom no less.
