I've actually considered switching more towards confinerous trees as (at least with my limited knowledge and general feel) they seem to not have the sensitivities that seemingly all the deciduous species I have, have? Is this a bad assumption to make?I would recommend start getting some species that are not as prone to disease as a Japanese maple. Some examples would be kishu juniper, or Japanese black pine. These both good beginner plants that tolerate full sun well and while they can get fungal infections they are much less prone than a Japanese maple in my experience. Also if you like maples, trident maples are generally much tougher and less finicky than Japanese maples. Best of luck.
I also am kind of thinking I'll like the evergreen look year round more. I initially jumped towards maples because of their spring and fall colors, but I'm sure a lot people who are new do this. Now that I'm 2 years in, I think my tastes have changed a bit.
I actually only have a dwarf alberta spruce and a bald cypress for conifers. And the bald cypress is a mix essentially so I really have just 1 conifer.
I want to get some junipers, pines and hinoki cypress. Any other recommendations for conifers?
