Description

The Mountain Ridge Top Garden North Lawn and Upper Drive Border is found in the mountainous region of Buncombe County NC.   

 

Photo Descriptions:

#1 This view is NE across the North lawn. In the foreground is a large White Oak with a circumference of more than ten feet. On the right edge just below the deck railing is Tsuga canadensis 'Monler' (Emerald Fountain® Canadian Hemlock). Between these are Cedrus deodara 'Karl Fuchs' (Karl Fuchs' Himalayan Cedar) and Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium' (Grape Leaf Full Moon Maple). The tall narrow deciduous tree behind these is a black gum and behind that a very large White Oak.

#2 This scene includes the edge of the North Lawn with Rivers European Purple Beech on the right and a border of Juniperus chinensis 'Sargentii' (Sargent's juniper) on both sides of the drive as it approaches the ridge top. Behind the juniper left of center are Euonymus alatus "Compactus" (Burning Bush) and Picea pungens 'Fat Albert' (Fat Albert Blue Spruce). Top center shows the mature oaks along the ridge top path in the North Woods. 

#3  This snow-covered scene shows the drive as it bends around toward the top of the ridge with Juniperus chinensis 'Sargentii' (Sargent's juniper) on both sides of the drive. In the center behind the juniper is Picea pungens 'Fat Albert' (Fat Albert Blue Spruce) with Euonymus alatus "Compactus" (Burning Bush) on both sides of the spruce. Branches in the upper left are crepe myrtle.

#4 This picture is taken from inside the house, across the North Lawn with the large White Oak on the left and Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium' (Grape Leaf Full Moon Maple) on the right. In the background is the North Woods with mature oaks along the ridge top. Several dwarf conifers are visible in the plantings between the paths in the North Woods.

#5 This view looks South across the top of the drive to the North and East Lawns. Juniperus chinensis 'Sargentii' (Sargent's juniper) line both sides of the drive of the foreground. Behind the juniper on the left is a pink dogwood, the Cedrus deodara 'Karl Fuchs' (Karl Fuchs' Himalayan Cedar) and Fagus sylvatica 'Riversii' (River's Purple Beech), just left of center. The shrubs between the oaks on the right edge are Ilex cornuta “Burfordii Nana' (Dwarf Burford Holly).

#6 This is the edge of the North Lawn adjacent to the house. Behind the mature White Oak to the right are Ilex crenata 'Green Luster'. To the left Ilex crenata 'Helleri' and the Tsuga canadensis 'Monler' (Emerald Fountain® Canadian Hemlock). At the right edge, on the corner of the house, is Acer palmatum “Sherwood Flame”.

#7  This scene is similar to #2 above but without the snow. It includes the edge of the North Lawn with Cedrus deodara 'Karl Fuchs' (Karl Fuchs' Himalayan Cedar) just left of center and the pink dogwood just right of center. Behind the dogwood and further to the right is a crepe myrtle. Rivers Beech is on the left edge. Top center shows the mature oaks along the ridge top path in the North Woods.

#8 This view North along the ridge top shows the edge of the North Lawn in the right foreground with Juniperus chinensis 'Sargentii' (Sargent's juniper) bordering both sides of the drive. Behind the juniper on the left are Euonymus alatus 'Compactus' (Burning Bush) and mature oaks along the ridge top path in the North Woods.

#9 This view is SW from the top of the drive looking down into the West Meadow. The evergreen shrubs in the foreground below the mature oaks are Ilex cornuta “Burfordii Nana'.

#10 The view here is NE from the edge of the North Lawn. in the foreground is Acer japonicum 'Vitifolium' (Grape Leaf Full Moon Maple) with the Cedrus deodara 'Karl Fuchs' (Karl Fuchs' Himalayan Cedar) on the left and a tall black gum on the right. Crimson Pygmy barberry are in the background. The peak is Lane Pinnacle (Elevation 5230') above the Blue Ridge Parkway.
