I too, love the weeping hemlock, I wanted to purchase one, but they all looked half dead at the nursery.

Kwanjin, I was thinking about maybe trying to grow a Deodora Cedar, although they are zoned for 6 and we are in 5. I figure it may be worth a try.
I recently purchased a weeping katsura tree. They are lovely and have a great legend behind them. Rare trees, and I've never seen them around here. I found one at Alpine Gardening Center on clearance. So I am trying to keep it alive. I hope it makes it will be a nice addition to my Japanese garden.
I too need to plant some trees this fall, alot of the plants I have selected need shade and I have very little. I just bought some azaleas and rhododendrons (I love to buy perennials this time of year such great bargains! rhododendron was $22.00 I bought if for $1!!!
