Conifers help revive sleeping garden When it comes to planting trees, less is more
A
By Adrian Higgins
Washington Post
s the last leaf of autumn floats to the ground, the burden of carrying the garden through the winter falls to evergreens.
With many varieties of conifers to choose from, picking the right one for your garden can help revive it for winter.
just to give them elbow room with their neighbors, but to surround them with the empty negative space they need to set them apart. You would need such a considered spot for something as special as a China fir, Himalayan pine or Japanese umbrella pine. Another large and underused conifer is the Alaska cedar, one of those rare Western conifers that adapt to the heat and humidity east of the Rockies. The
most oft-planted Alaska cedar is a branch-drooping variety named Pendula, though other, less pendulous types also convey that garland effect. It is one of the favorite conifers of Smithsonian horticulturist Rick Shilling, who is also a fan of the gray-green and feathery deodar cedar. He commends a variety named Shalimar, with an upright growth habit and bluish needles. The Japanese cedar, or Cryp-
tomeria, is one of those rare conifers that gets big – it soon reaches 20 feet and then keeps going – but can be squeezed into a relatively tight spot, especially if the lowest branches are judiciously removed. One of the strangest aspects of these garden conifers is that the same species can exist as a large, towering evergreen or as a tiny one. This is down to the long-standing desire of conifer connoisseurs to discover

This may be an overstatement. The silhouette of bare trees and the tracery of naked shrubs offer their own seasonal testament, but people need the reassurance of winter greenery to tell them that the plant world is still alive and that the promise of a far-off spring will be kept. Evergreens fall into two basic categories: broadleaf trees and shrubs, like hollies and camellias; and the needled cone bearers, the conifers. It is tempting to go overboard with both, to cling to screening and ornament in the gray months ahead. But this would be a mistake, especially with conifers. It is the deciduous, woody plants that give a place its sense of seasonality and vitality. If the Tidal Basin were planted with cherry laurel instead of cherry trees, well, there would be no tour buses flocking to the Cherry Laurel Festival. A garden overstuffed with conifers seems to me to be static and lifeless, ironically, and the surfeit of pointed shapes against the sky is unsettling in some indefinable way. On the other hand, single conifers have a capacity to dazzle as sublime specimens or to drag a landscape down. A mature Japanese red pine, stiff-bristled and ruddy-barked, is a work of art. A mature Norway spruce, to my eye, is morose and drab. This gets to another point: Many conifers are large trees, and the best of them deserve to be placed with great care – not
branch mutations and from them propagate slow-growing versions known as dwarf conifers. What is needed in today’s smaller gardens is a conifer that sits somewhere between a giant specimen and a miniature version, functioning as a small tree or a large shrub. These exist, but you have to seek them out. The thing to remember is that conifers can take only limited amounts of pruning, so you can’t just cut them back hard to fit a space, says Joe Meny, horticulturist of the Gotelli Conifer Collection at the U.S. National Arboretum. There are many varieties of the hinoki false cypress, Chamaecyparis obtusa, for example. It’s a matter of picking one you know (in time) will fit its allotted space. Meny suggests one of the yellow forms, Elmwood Gold, which, after a few years, might reach six feet high and across (though the mature specimen at the arboretum is twice that size). In the quest for moderately sized conifers, I am always drawn to the Korean pine – long-needled and stately without being huge. Shilling favors the variety Morris Blue, selected for its pyramidal habit and silver-blue needles. Yes, it will reach 40 feet, but only after many years. The Atlantic white cedar is a useful native conifer, especial-

Well-constructed wall can last centuries
F YOU’RE MOVED BY the urge to get your blood pumping, and feel like doing so with more enduring effect than lifting dumbbells, go outside and lift stones. Make a dry stone wall – that is, one laid without mortar. A well-constructed stone wall can last for centuries, and in so doing create a terraced surface where a short, steep and dangerous-to-mow grassy slope once lay. On level ground, a stone wall can better define a terrace or driveway, or create a garden “room.” Either way, the wall makes a nice backdrop against which to show off your bed of flowers or shrubbery. And the wall itself can be a thing of beauty. The prospect of building a stone wall can be intimidating. After all, aren’t there all sorts of mystical rules for building stone walls? And what about the sheer weight of stone that must be moved? Even though about a ton of stones is needed for every thirty square feet of wall face, you only have to move the stones one at a time. Or a barrowful at a time. When you purchase or gather stones, make sure to only get those that are no heavier than you can comfortably move around. Also purchase or gather together some basic tools. In this weather you’re probably already wearing gloves,
erally using your largest and flattest stones lowest in the wall. As you work upwards, taper the wall inwards on both faces of a freestanding wall, or on the outside face of a retaining wall, to make the

which help prevent nicked or crushed fingers when working with stone. A metal pry bar or crow bar is useful for those final nudges a stone needs to settle it home. Occasionally, a stone might need to be cut, which you do by scoring it with a masonry chisel and hammer, then using the hammer solo to clink the far side of the cut. Wear goggles when cutting stone. The mechanics of building a stone wall can be boiled down to a half-dozen or so basic

principles. Start out — most logically — from ground level, with a good foundation. Dig out the ground to a halffoot, less if drainage is good, and pour a couple of inches of gravel into the resulting trench. Then build on that theme of a good foundation by gen-
wall less inclined to collapse. For the same reason, lay flat rocks so that they have a slight inward tilt. So much for the foundation. Every time you put a rock in place, its fit with its neighbors should be secure, perhaps helped along with shims of small rocks or handfuls of packed soil.

Sewing room on the go
LTHOUGH IT MAY not be obvious at first, when you think about it, sewing is a lot like woodworking. Both require specialized tools and supplies, not to mention time, patience and hard-won skill. And just like woodworking, sewing transforms raw material into useful and beautiful things. There is one big difference, however. Many woodworkers have dedicated space for their hobby, while most sewing projects wind up spread out on the dining table. This easy-to-build sewing
cabinet project makes any room a sewing room, no matter where you live. It has space for a sewing machine, notions, patterns and more, plus a big, fold-out tabletop for measuring and cutting. When it’s time to put everything away, the whole project transforms into a handsome cabinet, and casters make it easy to move it from room to room. Made from birch (as pictured; other species will work as well), the cabinet measures 36 inches long by 20 inches wide by 31 inches tall when closed. When open, the tabletop is 72 inches long by 20 inches wide.
The Sewing Cabinet plan, No. 887, is $9.95 and includes stepby-step instructions with photos, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams, a materials list and cutting layout and a toll-free help line. Please include $3.95 for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

Long-term US mortgage rates sink down to 2.71% By Kathy Orton
Washington Post
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate, the most popular loan product, sank to its lowest level on record this week, marking the 14th historic low it has hit this year. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average fell to 2.71% with an average 0.7 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.72% a week ago
and 3.68% a year ago. The 30-year fixed rate has never been this low since Freddie Mac began tracking mortgage rates in 1971. It surpassed the previous low of 2.72%, set last month, and hasn’t been above 3% since July. Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers who tend to have
strong credit scores and large down payments. These rates are not available to every borrower. The 15-year fixed-rate average dropped to 2.26% with an average 0.6 point. It was 2.28% a week ago and 3.14% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average went down to 2.86% with an average 0.3 point. It was 3.16% a week ago and 3.39% a year ago. “Per usual, market activity in the days leading up to and immediately following the Thanksgiving holiday was
fairly quiet, but recent days has seen the bond market quickly shift gears,” said Matthew Speakman, a Zillow economist. “Treasury yields, which typically coincide with shifts in mortgage rates, rose to their highest level in three weeks on Tuesday following renewed discussions regarding more fiscal relief. But rather than rising with them, mortgage rates have instead held firm.” Bankrate.com, which puts out a weekly mortgage rate trend index, found half the
experts it surveyed predict rates will remain about the same in the coming week. “As we head into the new week after the holiday, there’s not too much excitement in the air,” said Jennifer Kouchis, senior vice president of real estate lending at VyStar Credit Union in Jacksonville, Florida. “The bond market has been strong and mortgage rates are for the most part in-line with last week’s rates. For now, rates are stable with minimum movement expected.”

T
HIS VINTAGE BANK IS easy to date. It is a type of tin bank that is no longer popular and the dog decorating the front was a comic cartoon star from the 1920s to the 1940s. This is the first famous Bonzo. A live dog by that name became famous in the movies years later. Bonzo was first pictured in a British comic strip in 1922, but the bank was made in Germany by Saalheimer & Strauss. The company made toys, especially cars and motorcycles, until it was bought in 1936. The toys had an oval mark with two overlapping S letters on top of the word Success. Bertoia Auctions sold this mechanical bank for $1,800.
Q. I bought the Michael
Jackson “Thriller” album when it came out. Upon receiving it, I wrapped it in plastic and it has remained that way for all these years. Can you give me a value on it?
ies have been sold since it was released by Epic Records on Nov. 30, 1982. It is not rare and usually sells for under $12 if in good condition. You can take it to a local store that sells used vinyl records to see what the album is selling for. They will give you about half the price since they have to make a profit. Some special pressings are listed for over $100. A framed or autographed album sells for much more.

Tiffany Studios made this bronze paperweight about 1910. Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) had companies under several different names from about 1879 until 1933. The name became Tiffany Studios in 1902. Bulldog paperweights like this have sold at auction. If you decide to send it to an auction to sell, be sure to ask what the seller’s premium and any other charges will be. You can also consign it or sell it to an antiques shop or to a dealer at an antiques show. A bronze Tiffany Studios paperweight with added gilding sold for $500 in 2019. TIP: Don’t store fabrics in
Q. How much is a news-
A. Old newspapers from im-
portant events that occurred in the 20th century are not usually worth as much as you might think, unless the newspaper has some special connection to the event. News of the end of the Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” war in Europe was published in album is the bestselling album in newspapers around the world, the world.
