ken

Well anyone in Europe grow it?

I do, it was me who gave you some cutting material :0)

Edwin

I got my plant from a nursery in Belgium I visited
your nursery in 2004 but never had cuttings from you
however some other conifers from your nursery are doing
well here.

The blue tag is telling me that it derives from my nursery...
Did you visited my nursery in 2004?

Yes with the BCS would be good if they could organise
another Dutch trip.I think there has been a name mix
up with this cultivar.

I remember this BCS visit very well, unfortunately I can't remember you.
I do remember Stephen Grubb, Derek Spicer, Jon Tate and Roger Ward...
From which Belgium nursery you received the 'Nidifera'?

There's no name mix about this cultivar, it's the only cultivar of this species which does have a special apple green colour and a featherly foliage.

All my books say its a semi dwarf form with green foliage
but its clearly a tree size cultivar also its much more
glaucous than any other nootkatensis cultivar also Derek
Spicer thinks it might be a hybrid.

Forgot to say I received it from Arboretum Waasland.

Arboretum Waasland make's sence...
Did Derek also told you which the other parent of this "might hybrid" is?

Edwin

No he just mentioned that it could be a hybrid but
im sure its a cultivar of X nooketensis ive also
found out that its a very rare plant the X n 'Nidifera'
that is.Do you have one in your arboretum?

I've the only bigger plant in The Netherlands.
All the others around here are cuttings from this specimen, also the one you've.
This is the one in my Pinetum
Xanthocyparis nootkatensis 'Nidifera'

Very nice Edwin its strange that were the only ones
here growing it.

Stunningly beautiful trees! Wish I could work with those around here. Zone 4/5.

The full name we've to use now for this one is Cupressus nootkatensis 'Nidifera'...

+om you could try the nootkas. They should be hardy to zone 4.

tj

Actually, that one actually looks more like a Chamaecyparis, with it's delicately drooping tips. Just joking.

Looks like a winner. Does it grow slower than normal?

Blue Yew and Edwin, gorgeous tree!

Thanks for the pics!

Noki, indeed this cultivar grows slower then the species, also it's foliage and colour are much differend.

Thanks TJ. May just do that.
