Anyone have a conifer book they like?
This two volume set covers the UK which doesn’t do me a great deal of good being in the US.

Conifer Ident Please
I have a conifer on the edge of woodland we own (UK) I want to move it closer to the house to give it what it wants e.g sunlight. It's been there since we moved in (nearly 20 years) and I feel sorry for it. I know moving it is a risk but I think it's worth it as it's a lovely specimen.
I think after some research that it's a Juniper like Blue Arrow but possibly Chamaecyparis lawsoniana of some description but not 100% sure. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Dawn Redwood ‘Gold Rush’
Not sure if it’s possible to actually love a tree but this beautiful specimen makes me think it might be possible.
Have had it in for three years and it’s been growing 4’ per year. It is deciduous and turns a brilliant copper before shedding its foliage.

Best evergreen tree for privacy / sound barrier
I have been told Arborvitae is the cheapest and easiest for this purpose, but after much reading on here, I'm not so sure, especially since I just found : r/ArborvitaeAreGarbage I live in Central Indiana, the area can get saturated in the spring but bone dry in the summer. There are also some mature trees in the area that will cast shade in the summer. I don't mind watering & mulching the first few years but I don't want to spend a lot for them to only die. Also, 10 years ago I lost 2 mature pine trees even after having them sprayed by an arborist who said they had "spider mites" (he even shook a branch over paper to show me) But they still browned from the bottom up and died a few years later. Any advice is much appreciated!

What could be causing stress to pine tree
I dig up the soil at root and found ants, already treated the area but not sure if ants could have caused this or something else I am missing? 3rd pic is of pine trees behind mine.
