This is a cool idea, never thought of using living trees as trellises really. Where it happens naturally I just let it go if it's not hurting the tree. But I never thought of it in this aspect. Got my mind going though! Thanks!

1 is a euonymus

2 & 5 are low growing junipers

3 is a hemlock

4, 8 & 9 ( and possibly 17) are rhododendrons

7 is a boxwood

11 is a geum

12 is probably a shasta daisy

13 18 & 19 are hydrangeas

16 is probably a sedum of sorts

I hope this helps a bit. Good luck.

Yes this helps immensely, thanks so much!

Numbers 2 and 5 should be a Thuja; I think you have a few identical one in there as well.

Haha sorry, maybe come spring it will be a bit easier. Figured I would try and get a jump on it as my girlfriend and I are working on our site analysis and assessment. Which do you think are identical? I just ran around frantically with the camera since it was so nice out.

< organizer it's in full swing as far as i know haha. the location is still tbd but the date is definite, July 13-15. i'll be in touch!

That was quick! Thanks so much Julie!

During my PDC we visited Tripple Brook Farm in Western MA. They have countless varieties, I believe you can order from their website. After a quick look they have varieties hardy to -20! Tripple Brook Bamboo Page
