Landscaping That Needs Attention

The Deodora Cedar. (Click on any image to enlarge.)
This Mountain Hemlock was planted on 12/9/04; it was spindly then, it is spindly still.
Two of the Hinockis look great; the third is stunted and blackened.

Two of the Little Gems look OK; the one closest to the gate, while technically alive, is stunted and blackened.


Here are the five Little Gems; from lower image to upper: dead, weak, OK, OK, blackened and stunted.

They resemble a pair of light bulbs glowing in the murk.
