Granny's gone and done it again

I planted 3 of them . I have not been back to look at them.

My neighbor planted them all across her front and they are doing great. Maybe I will go get me a Christmas tree after all. LOL

Leyland Cypress. We didn’t know until I looked it up just now We walked acres and acres of trees. DD wanted a “blue ice.” I’m the only one who wanted pine.

I thought it looked like a cypress, but never seen one as a Christmas tree. Noble fir, Douglas fir, Fraser fir are the main ones... they come down from Oregon and Washington.
Is "blue ice" a type of cypress? I would love to have a blue spruce.

I like the tree. The “leaves” are more like succulents or fern fronds than needles. They’re allegedly hypoallergenic, but I guess that’s just for airborne because I still broke out all over where I touched the tree.

This place had them in pots, too.

The farm listed several trees, but it seems most of them are color variations of Leyland Cypress. They also have the Fraser firs, but they are shipped in because it’s too warm here to grow. One of the types was sort of spongey like lichen. That’s the one that I’m guessing was “blue ice.”

I said I was going to, but I forgot. It doesn’t itch or burn until I wash my hands.

True story.

I spent my childhood outside in the grass and woods and never had a problem. I changed a flat tire on the side of the interstate when I was in college, and got a rash down both arms. I don’t react to poison ivy or sumac, but if I sit in the grass I’ll break out.
