Dave,
Wow, very nice.

Do nurseries already have stock for you to buy or did you get those plants via mail order? (big plants for mail order, if you got them that way.)

I have Pinus parviflora 'Hagaromo' and it's one of my favorites. It's a very nice plant that stays pretty small.

What state do you live in? For some reason I thought you lived in the Midwest. Or is that not a current pic from this year? Did you get hit with snow today, like we did here in Mpls? I have about 6" of the heavy wet stuff clinging to everything. I won't be planting anything any time too soon around here. (:o(

On the plus side, it is officially spring.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike, good to here from you.

These conifers came in this week from the nursery I buy most of my conifers from. I did not special order these but I do occasionally special order certain conifers I want to compliment my garden. The buyer for this nursery a conifer collector also and I got to be friends with him when I worked part time their to pay for my conifer addiction. I don't know where there is a nursery that compares with this one in a 400 mile radius of KC. Many rare and unusual conifers for sale.

The Pinus p. 'Hagaromo' is a very slow grower and fits into small restricted areas well. I am always looking for those hard to find offerings and the 'Blue Tear Drop' is one that a true collector never passes up. It speaks for itself.

In Kansas City it was 68F. yesterday and 63F. today. I have moved out of the dreary confines of this house into the outdoors. Hopefully Mike you won't be far behind. Things look like they have wintered over well and I plan to do some serious butt kicking in the garden this year. Had all winter to think about it. Going to be fun.

Dave

Dave, love your new purchases and look forward to seeing pictures of your "serious buttkicking in the garden this year". I don't doubt it a bit, your garden never ceases to amaze me and I always enjoy seeing pictures of it. Dan

Dave,
I can hardly wait to see your new photos. You have such a great mix of plants, and beautifully landscaped yard, that it makes me want to dig everything up and start over. (:o)

Can you tell me the name of the nursery where you purchased these plants? I may be going through the KC area this summer and I would like to stop, if I have the time to do so. I'd like to Mapquest or Google the nursery address to see if that would even be possible. If you don't want to post the name here, you can send me an email via My Page.

That 'Blue Tear Drop' is incredible! I have never seen or heard of that cultivar before. I'll have to do a little research...
Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
