62249Q.yellow evergreen trees
I am thinking about planting a few yellow evergreen trees along property line, I live 30 miles east of st louis which is zone 6 I believe, these would not be used for privacy or hedge but more for visual , they would also be used to partially block cold winter winds for other plants more sensitive to cold .These will also be near some overhead power lines. I am looking at three different types of trees ,Crippsii Hinoki Cypress , Louie Eastern White Pine, and Gold Ryder Leyland Cypress. I would appreciate any comments, advice , or suggestions of other trees that might work better. As I am approaching the senior category I would like something that would grow big enough to enjoy in my life time. Thanks Nick

Certified ExpertA.I personally am a huge fan of the hinoki false cypress and have them in my zone 4b landscape, where they do very well, though sometimes they get slightly nipped by late frosts in spring. In zone 6 they should do well. There are also some lovely varieties of large gold colored arborvitae that could be used, such as Jantar, Forever Goldie and Fire Chief.

November 27, 2017Q.Little Dugald
Hi there, I recently planted a Little Dugald hedge. The hedge flowered and was full, but after flowering the bottom leaves started to die off and now I am left with the top full of leaves and the bottom is bare. I dont know what to do to promote regrouth at the bottom. Improve overall health. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks Lizelle

November 28, 2017A.The dense foliage of Little Dugald, or Metrosideros, tends to shade the lower leaves and eventually kill them. To correct this, prune the shrubs with the goal of thinning out the foliage and letting in light to the bottom portions. For example, you could remove or cut back up to one-third of the branches until light reaches the lower levels; this will also hopefully promote growth of branches from further down.

April 18, 2018A.Bald cypress, red cedar, some spruce and white pine are not deer favorites. Here is a longer list of resistant trees and shrubs: http://arbordayblog.org/treecare/deer-resistant-trees-and-shrubs-no-more-deer-repellent/

BT6 9NAQ.Ever green trees/shrubs
I am looking for ever green small trees or shrub for an Italian style garden. I will be using the trees/shrubs, on the edge of my patio, as a screen to screen off the rest of the garden: I am trying to make areas of interest along the path. It is a small city garden in N Ireland. Something like acers would be perfect but they are very expensive.

Certified ExpertA.Most Acer lose their leaves during dormancy. This will leave them bare for a portion of the year. What is your temperature range throughout the year? This will help me to recommend plants that would be suited to your region.

Columbus, OH zone 6aQ.Evergreen tree
I have a small evergreen tree that isn't looking great. I've tried googling to see what might be wrong with it with little luck. I've attached two pictures. Is it able to be saved or should I have it removed?

Certified ExpertA.It can be saved. This is very common this time of year. Wettable sulfur will take care of this. The old growth will not turn green again, but it will have new growth that is free from the disease.

June 7, 2018Q.Evergreens for privacy zone 6b
I am about to move and need some guidance on good choices for tall screening between my yard and the next property. I am looking for height, thickness, and variety (eleagnus mixed in with other tall evergreens, for instance?). The strip of earth is narrow (1 ft. wide, 45 ft. long). What can I accomplish in such a space?
