Comments (28)20 acres - made me take a gulp of my coffee. You have it going on girl! That's incredibly awesome. Forsythia in bloom, green showing thru the flower buds of my Viburnum burejaeticum, most of the trees are swelling, my Acer rubrum 'Red Rocket' is in full flower, it's not going to be long. Happy Spring everyone. Dax...See MorePicea abies photo gallery 2011
Comments (34)I don't doubt you Clement, I just wonder if there are some plants amongst the ones shown here that are another species. 'Lukavec' is particular really does not look like Picea abies to me, but I digress, I am new still compared to the decades of knowledge present. A few more. Picea abies 'Stoner' 'Perry's Gold'. Heavy shade, still turns a nice white/gold color for 2-3 months in Spring. 'Dandylion'. Another plant with seasonal changes, this new introduction from Bob Fincham(of 'Pusch'x'Gold Drift' heritage) eventually cones, has nice gold color(with minimal burn) and has a spreading/weeping habit. 'Lanham's Beehive'. Unique texture, plump unusual needles and branchlets'. A keeper. 'Fritsche'. 'Konojecky' 'Frohburg'. A narrower weeper, branchlets are about half the size of most pendulous forms. 'Pumila'. 'Clanbrassiliana Stricta'. I am curious to the origin of this plant and whether it has anything to do with the first conifer cultivar, 'Clanbrassiliana'. 'Gold Dust'. Fairly unique coloring. 'Suncrest' 'Tompa' -Will...See MorePicea abies photo gallery 2010
Comments (20)Thanks for adding to the gallery guys. Seems a bit strange for me to keep posting to myself! :) Thanks for the compliments too, hearing it from conifer legends always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. More more and more! This is madness!... Picea abies 'Suncrest'. New to me, a nice tight, bluish color miniature, bought at Coenosium Gardens. 'Gold Dust'. An unusually 'leggy' small dwarf with highly unusual colors as the new foliage eventually becomes more golden and mixes well with the older blue/green. 'Perry's Gold'. Pretty bright! New growth eventually reverts to a more dark green. This specimen is in almost full shade. Awesome! 'Vermont Gold' A sport from 'Repens' I believe, grows laterally into a wide shrub, new growth is delicately gold and burns in full sun here. 'Clanbrassiliana Stricta'. A bit more of a cone shaped dwarf. 'Nidiformis'. Common, available at many box stores and in my opinion, still a pretty nice plant. 'Hasin'. Doing some wierd things, I'd better take a look and prune back that barberry! Usually a super-tight miniature similar to 'Dumpy'. 'Malena'. A great looking small dwarf with unusual needle shape, mine received too much sun last year, suffered some damage and this Winter found a new home. 'Aarburg'. A twisting, weeping, chaotic 'Dr. Suess' tree. Saw it for the first time at Coenosium Gardens and had to have one. Eventually gets pretty wide(not too tall), but I think it will be happy enough here in 5-6 hours of sun. Picea abies seems to handle part shade very well. Many of mine are in filtered sun with 3-4 hours of direct sun. 'Gold Drift'. Only one of the best, a strongly weeping, fast growing tree essential to any conifer collection. More when I have time, please feel free to add some of yours. -Will...See Morewhaas_5a
