Platycladus... by marlboromaam

Platycladus...

Shot in black and white. As alien looking as its name sounds. Remember those little peachy colored female cones shot back in March - https://365project.org/marlboromaam/drive-by-shooti/2021-03-13 and here https://365project.org/marlboromaam/extra-stuff/2021-03-13. Known by several common names, we'll just use arborvitae. More info on this plant here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platycladus
For all my plant photos, I don't think I've ever posted ours!* We had four 20 years ago, but they grew to the point where they're too tall and wide to string Christmas lights! Also, we lost two of them to the inland hurricane in 2009. They're really over-mature now and really ought to come out … except they provide a lot of privacy!

Wow! Mine have never grown so tight like that. I need to cut the tops out of mine, but afraid it will kill them.

They do look rather alien, I loved the peachy ones.
