Conifers for Heavy Clay Soil
ALARGE NUMBER OF CONIFERS will grow in heavy clay soil, providing it is not always waterlogged. They encompass an extremely wide selection of sizes and shapes, and have foliage of great variety, both in color and texture. These are hardy, easy to grow, and evergreen unless specified deciduous.
DAWN REDWOOD
The feathery leaves of this magnificent deciduous conifer turn tawny pink in autumn. An ancient and vigorous tree, it is narrowly conical to columnar.
MOUNTAIN PINE
This dwarf mountain pine in time forms a compact mound of dark green needles. Ideal for a large rock garden, or a big pot, but it is slow-growing.
MACEDONIAN PINE
Worth growing where space is available, this impressive pine has densely crowded grey-green needles and pendent, curved and cylindrical, resin-flecked cones.
WEYMOUTH PINE
A well-known conical pine, this broadens with age. Open branches bear slender grey-green needles and pendulous cones. Will not tolerate air pollution.
Elegans Compacta'
This is a dense, billowy, bushy form of the Japanese Red Cedar. The fresh green foliage is soft to touch, and turns a rich reddish bronze color in winter.
BOSNIAN PINE
A handsome tree of dense, conical habit, this pine broadens as it ages. Its special features include rich green needles, white hairy buds, and cobalt-blue cones.
