I agree with the above: looks like a Cryptomeria to me.

i am a grower n east texas and pansies from seed are difficult for fall sowing. best done from plugs. the seeds r successful as a spring bedding plant here but just dont last long n our heat

Too young to tell. But will Assume a seedling. Therefore likely to be of the Juniper family, maybe even plain old red cedar
Could it be cryptomeria?
Can someone name this plant? Not sure what it is... it was dug out of a customers yard and cuttings were made. Now im not sure what it is.
Here in Michigan we give our fall pansies 8 weeks sow to sale for Sept ship then add a week for Oct. This is for Delta series. Dynamite sow 4 days later, Colossus & Majestic Giant sow 4 days sooner. Never more then 4 weeks in 512 or 288 plug sheet.…
Total production time from sowing to finish is 8 to 13 weeks. The time required from sowing plugs to ready to transplant is 5 to 7 weeks depending on the tray size. Finishing flats usually require 3 to 6 weeks from transplant to ready for shipping.…

Chris, we use a Harrell's granular product HGH75 on most of our woody shrubs in containers. I cannot speak to ground covers. HGH75 is by far the least expensive per square foot and our tests on the nursery show HGH75 to provide the best weed control…
I use Surflan in my shadehouse and display beds. I know of people using it in pots, too. It is a pre-emergent.
How about a piece of rebar through the container into the ground. Thats what we do. Kinda redneck but hey....it works!
