    Wow... Insane collection. Haven't seen seen a collection like that on here for a long time. Any idea how many conifers you have? Real stand out's for me are Blue Cloak... really nice and full, Angel falls, Acer palmatum 'Butterfly' (didn't realize how white it reads in the landscape) and the fact that you have been able to keep Tsuga heterophylla alive at all. crazy.

    That is quite the collection of plants you have. Everything looks healthy and happy. Do you have an editing plan or will you deal with that when the time comes?

    I greatly appreciate the responses :)

    maackia, some plants have many years before they grow near each other and some plants are already getting close to one another. Some plants I'll be pruning to keep them in shape. A few I might eventually have to remove.

    My plan is to grow my container plants in pots indefinitely. Once they make it to about 15 gallon containers and they are large plants I will periodically root prune them.

    Dean, I have at least a half acre. I'm almost fully out of space for planting in the backyard. I only have space left for a Japanese Maple in the back and a few small plants.

    You've been seriously bitten by the Garden Bug, and from the looks of it, more than once. I'd seek professional treatment if I were you. The sooner, the better.

    that blue cloak looks more like a leuteneggeri to me - needles look flat like a grandis.

    The large tree's were bought from several high quality nurseries that I go to. Some of the smaller plants were bought online from places like Conifer Kingdom and ebay.

    A few more.

    My Cedrus deodara 'Gold Cone' outgrew it's spot so I removed it and replaced with Picea Abies Suncrest which I had in a container until I made space.
