You might send 'Western Evergreen' of Silverton, OR. an email asking for a custom graft. Say, Dax recommended.

Thanks everyone. I have seen several 'Candicans' at nurseries, growing as b and b or container stock and while very blue in color they just don't seem as full and thick as species concolor. ==>>> you dont know where this type of stock spent its youth ... concolor is bulletproof in MI ... including this last z4 winter ... no damage at all ... crushed leaves.. smell of grapefruit.. totally amazing,... and candicans sapphire blue cones are incredible.. in about 10 years ... there is also a yellow version .. though it takes a few years for it to get big enough.. to show off its coloration ... i seem to have a prostrate version.. which joy says doesnt exist ... time will tell if it decides to grow toward the sky ... there are also some dwarfs ... scooter i think .... ken ps: now that my candicans is getting past 15 feet ... it is getting a bit ugly ....

Sorry Mike, I didn't mean to hijack your thread lol. The fact you came across a very blue/silver Abies concolor got me thinking about my plants. Dave / Ken, I was under the impression (which may be incorrect?) that Abies concolor as a species is rather blue/silver. I was so busy this spring I didn't think twice about the plant ecspecially since I purchased them dormant (I remember thinking about the wax at the time and figured the new growth would be blue). Now that I'm looking closer I feel like I got duped as these plants where to be blue to offset the greens near by. No way I'm taking them out at this poinst as they were by far the most difficult plants to install. They were sold as 3-4' but in reality they were 5' tall and now close to 6' with the new growth. My goal with these plants was fast screening and get the blue color as Picea pungens isn't a good plant for long term screening anymore in this area. I'm now intermixing blue dwarfs for the color (hence the post on spreading/mounding Picea engelmannii)...not all that bad in the end. Its sorts like my three Picea omorika croaking...just ended up replacing with more unique cultivars (Picea pungens 'Royal Knight, Picea orientalis 'Atrovirens' and Pinus x 'Forest Sky')

Yep! If you would like seeds of Thuja occidentalis Wintergreen aka Hetz Wintergreen (source: Bickelhaupt Arboretum - lots of pollination of thuja cultivars taking place) - just send me an email. Dax
