Picea glauca Photo Gallery 2010
Many are similar/identical, but still neat to look at. One of my first 'pushing' conifers.
Picea glauca 'Sanders Blue'. 4-5 years old, nice blue tints to it, I'd classify it as a small dwarf.
'Humpty Dumpty'. Neat little mound, seems very slow.
'Daisy White'. Still showing strong colors, I expect a fade by about late June here in the Pacific Northwest.
Enjoy and share some of yours, I'll post almost daily here.

13 years agoShot a lot of photos this morning(needed rest in planting endless hostas!).
'Alberta Globe'. 4 years old?
'Arenson's Blue Varigated'. Maybe 5 years old.
'Burning Well' 6-8 years old.
'Cecilia'. One of the first plants I bought from Coenosiums. About 6 years old.
'Echiniformis'. A cool, wildly colored globe. 5-6 years old.

2010 New Additions photo gallery! (Post yours!)
Comments (55)Ykli- Isn't it human nature to be jealous and want what others have? Just kidding! It is a beautiful plant, and I'm happy for you, but I still really want one myself! I did get my Stanley order yesterday, and they are all very nice plants. Watch the new thread for pics hopefully later today of many of them! I was really disappointed though, I had several Calocedrus on the order and I guess they lost their whole crop over the winter. Might make me reconsider trying them here depending on what caused their demise in Oregon! They are rated to Zone 6 and though we are rated as 6 I still think we are a 5b at best. Though with careful selection of sites, I can usually keep Zone 6 plants alive with no problems. Keith- Thanks, I will contact you for the list. I have never ordered from Dennis though I always hear great things about him. I have been on the website several times before, but as you said it is wildly outdated...As mush as I hate to admit it, I am part of the modern McDonald's society that wants it Right Now!!!

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 MorePicea glauca Photo Gallery 2012

13 years agoThanks again for the info fellas. To be honest, I'm glad it's mariana 'Nana', a plant I've looked for for a long time(and apparently had all along- lol). I do wonder if this plant is present in nurseries in the states. I have two from two different sources and they both appear to be Picea mariana.
Lots more today(it's raining, again):
Picea glauca 'Gnome'. Pretty darn slow growth.
'Goldilocks'. Going on it's third year. Heavily shaded as well.
'Jean's Dilly'
'Joseph Rys'
'Pixie'. Seems smaller then 'Gnome' or at least thinner.
'Palecek'
'Gold Tip'
'Rainbow's End'. Flushes bright green/gold later in Summer.(Will try and update).
'Pixie Dust'. Similarly flushes again with more color, very dense plant.
More then halfway through!

13 years agoJaro, I don't think I'm able to create those punctuations on U.S. keyboards?
Here's a few more, I'm searching about for the last handful...
Picea glauca 'Pendula'. My 'normal specimen. Wonderful, narrow weeping beauty. 6-7 years old?
'Pendula'. Either lost it's leader or never staked. Either way, it's neat looking.
'Hobbit'. Perfectly named. An awesome little globe.

13 years agoHello Maria, welcome to this forum!
You showed us some nice photo's and with some of these I wasn't familiar.Picea glauca var. albertiana 'W.B.' isn't the true name of this witchesbroom, it's
Picea glauca var. albertiana 'Hexenbesen' or 'H.B.' which is a shortening for this cultivar.
It's a witches'broom found by Uwe Horstmann from Germany and the cultivarname is translated into the English language as many German cultivars did.
This is the one at my Pinetum

13 years agoMaria, the true cultivarname is 'Dendrofarma Gold' which is found as a mutation on an 'Alberta Globe'.
It's found by the Dendrofarma Nursery in Poland.
Your's look like an 'Alberta Globe' now but will be yellow in Spring for a long time like this one.
