Four years of Picea orientalis 'Iseli Seedling'
Comments (29)Randall said "Looks like he has a great plant, but with all the nomenclature problems already in our world, let's not get this one mixed up too!" This is Iseli's own fault, because THEY donated some seedlings without a name to an ACS auction. How stupid can you be to gave it a cultivar name ahead of an auction. Any name is ok, even when it was the name of your neighbours wife, it NEEDS a name before it get spread! Even a varietal name will not work, this also will give confusions. Now there are a ton of 'differend Skylands' seedlings availlable and another bigg mess has started...man, what is this a very sad situation......See MoreDo both my tree's look like Picea orientalis 'Gowdy'
Comments (9)Now that you mention it, the tree in the 2nd photo has grown pretty fast. It's been in the ground for 3 years and has put on a couple feet of upward growth.

Both of my tree's grow big purple cones....See MorePicea orientalis ‘Firefly’. Two weeks planted drooping? Help
Comments (12)Update Firefly was planted in late April and planted in morning sun and afternoon shade afforded by a tall 65 year old maple tree. It was adequately watered when planted. After meeting with the knowledgeable people at the ACS conference I returned home to find firefly in bad condition. I pulled the conifer up and discovered it was bone dry. The soil it was potted in appeared to be ground wood mulch and looked like dry peat. I soaked the rootball and repotted in Promix with granite grit and placed in shade. I have had several large specimens expire and found similar soil conditions. Firefly is recovering and I am smoking lots of hopium for its Rehabilitation. i am trying to submit photo....See MoreWhich cultivar of Picea orientalis is this?
Comments (5)I can’t get a better picture at the moment, the nursery is not very close to me. The nursery staff said it is from before their time and they are unsure, but one thought it could possibly be nigra compacta. In agreement with stuart’s comment above. Thanks for your thoughts....See Morekmanzfive laknee
