D. Heavy, Formal Effects. Either due to the prevalence of ice 

 storms which break them down or to their inherent lack of hardiness, 

 most of the plants which are elsewhere available for heavy, formal effects 

 are not available in this region. This group is accordingly a small one. 



Juniperus virginiana Picea excelsa ■byramidalis 



Red Cedar Pyramidal Norway Spruce 



Juniperus virginiana glauca Populus alba pyramidalis
