Breeder�s Hall � 32 - Clement Anthoine, Jamioulx BEL

The Anthoine Pinetum is one of the greatest conifer collection of the world with 2278 taxons (2010).

Among them 327 Abies, 500 Picea and 800 Pinus species and cultivars.

Very rich in dwarfs and coloured conifers, and in rare geographical specieses.

Thanks to the climate there probably the world�s most beautiful Picea orientalis �Skylands� is to be seen in the collection.

Chamaeciparis pisifera �Plumosa Michelle�

Found this WB some years ago (2004-2005) in a private garden in a Chamaecyparis pisifera Plumosa Aurea. 3 years long no cuttings and grafts were made without success. Finally in the 4th year 2 good grafts (of 40) survived, and also Edwin Smits with some good cuttings.

The same year the original plant was cutted back by proprietor of the garden.

Named Michelle in honor of Clement�s wife . She helped in collecting work, and spent so many time.
