I'll be happy to contribute to this in a few months. Most of my plants are just starting to yawn now. No real signs of cones just yet!

question - what it going to hybridize with this, and when would be the time to do that?

Hi Nate,

"Nootka cypress whose cones mature in late spring/early summer of the second year."

C. nootkatensis is monoecious.

"Male cones yellow, to .7 cm, shed pollen in April. Cones ripen in late spring or early summer of the second year, dark blue and green, brown when ripe..."

We bought this little tree as "Picea Unknown"--the nursery had lost its label. With the help of people on this forum we've narrowed it down to P. glauca, possibly var. densata 'Coerulea'. Regardless, it's blue, it's cute, and absolutely covered with red pollen cones.

Wow, this gallery has some amazing species and cone photos. I'll add some more ordinary shots as Spring trudges along here in the Pacific Northwest.

Beautiful, aren't they?
Here are some from an Abies homolepis 'Aureovariegata' just starting to grow for the first time since planting. The color contrast is amazing!
