    Oh, that's better.

    The skinny ones look like Cupressus sempervirens, Italian cypress.

    Thanks. I am looking for something like those as my garden isn't that big but would like to add some evergreens that would get to at least 10/12 feet which I would keep them at then. Any idea what the others are or suggestions for similar?

    If you find some cupressus sempervirens for a reasonable price, be sure to let me know.

    You might consider Taxus baccata Fastigiata (Irish yew, upright form) which is native.

    Some bigger ones here:

    They are all the same conifer.. Thuja emerald/smaragd.
    And yes they would be perfect for what you're looking for.. though I would suggest finding some Irish grown ones as the imports have a habit of turning brown.

    Thanks very much. Do they take long to get to say 12 feet do you know?
