      That is very cool. Like something out of Middle Earth.

      Education is extremely important.

          I LOVE this, 89th!!!

          Hubby likes it, too, and we are already planning on making one of these green arbors in the backyard. I think even more than one!

              Yes, in a garden of a large country house like Chatsworth or Castle Howard. Lovely

                Those look like cedars making the arch. Do you know what kind?

                With effort we have had good luck with cedars despite the dryness and winter cold. Not sure whether the cedars we grow here would spread enough to make an arch like you have.

                Looks great 89.

                Good eye, I think it is some cedar arborvitae variety, maybe a "junior giant thuja"? Hard to tell since I've had to trim it to control the width and height, but I know it grows like 5-9" per year. I am planting a few emerald green arborvitae in the backyard soon (9 to be exact) to fill in some gaps where we removed some old shrubs near the fence line. I'm looking forward to those, especially if they get some direct sun...arborvitae LOOOOOVE direct sun.

                  Funny, I found a Google Map street view from 2008, the red arrows is where the arborvitaes are (looks like 2' tall) and the orange arrow is actually a maple tree that is now a good 30' tall.

                          If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

                              Wow. @89th. Beautiful. I wish we had the climate to grow cedar like this. Our chinooks aren’t kind. I love your maples. Fall and spring are my favourite seasons.
