Hello,
I have a large older American holly near a path, our vegetable garden, and a coy pond. My wife hates it because it is prickly, etc....
We have decided to replace it with a conifer and were considering Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard, mostly for the color and texture of the younger specimens we have seen.
This will be at the top of some terraced stairs with lots of varied textured silvery green flowering plants flanking the stairs (lambs ear, dianthus, iris, .......
The space for the new tree is just outside the drip line of a large hemlock with a specimen Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Crippsii' aka 'Crippsii' Hinoki Falsecypress across a coy pond from the space.
The property has a number of specimen trees and plants, the Hinoki Cyprus, the large hemlock, a large grandiflora magnolia, a medium size cryptomeria japonica, two nice cryptomeria nana elegans, a massive northern spruce, a new stewartia, lots of cedars, yellow berry american Holly, and Ilex Lassie holly....
Any thoughts? This tree needs to provide some privacy with a nice dense structure, a soft needle, and interesting color........
thank you for any help,
Carl
