I was looking for something to put on a steep hill (the whole front yard) and tried some creeping junipers. Out of 10 shrubs, only one was still viable a year later. Then I found Siberian Cypress - liked the looks, and the description of the growth habit sounded just about right. Planted four on a semi-shaded portion of my hillside, near the dripline of a maple tree. Unlike the juniper, these shrubs showed visible growth by the end of this summer and as a bonus, no mysterious sudden death of branches. They are less prickly than the juniper and have a nicer "drape". If they make it through the winter I will be ordering more. Thanks for a good article!
