Comments (3)Wow, I never realised that conifers had such winter colours! I mean Ive seen subtle changes on some cypresses but nothing like this!...See MorePropagation of Pinus contorta 'Chief Joseph'
Comments (9)when i went to grafting class ... i SEEM to recall that ALL YELLOW plants are inherently harder to graft ... and one reason for increased cost ... is the higher failure rate ... i believe we speculated that reduced chlorophyll may have been an issue ... the teacher also noted that he had much more success ... if he grafted yellows much later than other plants ... I THINK i recall .. something along the lines.. that up here in z5.. most grafting is done in jan/feb.... but he delayed yellows until march ... but i wouldnt act on that recollection without verification from the source .. price is a function of many things.. including grafting success ... i do NOT recall what he used as understock .. ken...See MoreGood source for Pinus contorta var. latifolia 'Chief Joseph'?
Comments (7)I must say from my perspective that the annual catalog alone is as much fun as having plants delivered and boxes opened at your doorstep and the information too is, well, gold. Bob, if you see it at all possible in the future it sure would be an asset to me to know the origin in as many cases as possible for the conifers. Having this information would provide details for Records to the ACS Website and in the future could clear up any discussion with elements of uncertainty. While it's true I'm very deep in information already to be added, I will get it all done and my plan is to never stop working/revising records for the ACS Database. It's a hobby for sure. I know it could be a lot to ask cause I'm not footing the bill! Anyways, just thanks to your consideration. Dax...See MoreIs this a Pinus contorta Chief Joseph?
Comments (43)Yes, the quality of the plants I have received from them has been great. That is why I feel so bad about this. evhrox. Could you post a picture of yours for me? Just curious. Thanks. I have room for the Chief and that is about it. Unless? Tear out something else? Hmmm. I have put in around 121 plants last year and this year. I have hauled off truckloads of plants because of how big my other dwarfs had gotten. 20 years for many but they were big dwarfs and when I first got into it I did not check into them much. Internet was not as easy as it is now. Now I can research better and find smaller dwarfs and minis that are much more interesting than the older ones I had. I may have to go look into it. Thanks everyone for your help. I have not heard back from them yet but it is the weekend and no one was around....See Morericksample
