Here in the deep south, both the Leland Cypress and the Thuja/Arborvitae are evergreen trees. The first picture is a stand of Leland Cypress across the street and the second picture is of Arborvitae/Thuja in my back yard. The pictures were taken at 6:30 AM, so though all the trees have a dark, rich green color, there is too little light to bring that out.
