I believe this tree is a Japanese Yew. It was a very bushy nursery plant but has just had its first pruning. It will be interesting to see the progress on this specimen.
A very nice double trunk California Juniper. These trees are generally collected inland at higher altitudes. We used have club digging expeditions to the east side of the Tehachapi Pass, but have not done this in a long time.
A small juniper.
Wonderful taper on the trunk of this Oak tree. The top has been cut and a smaller branch has been wired up to create a new apex. This branch will thicken in time and help to enhance the trees taper. Tapering a trunk like this tends to make the tree look older.
This is a Japanese Black Pine.
Father and Son team working on a couple of trees. Y0u can compare this young Oak on the left with the one above, and see how the taper help with the appearance of age.
