I was just wondering if anybody has Picea pungens Gold Mine in their collection. If you do, would it be possible to post a photo of it?

Thanks,

Darren

    I'm guessing that this plant is as obscure as I thought.
    Anyway, curiousity got the best of me and I purchased one. I will post a of photo when it arrives.

    Hi Darren-

    Buchholz & Buchholz Nursery has a picture, but no description- see link below

    Here is a link that might be useful: P.p. 'Gold Mine'

    I know a propagator here that always has some newer plants Van den busche Nursery (no website). He doesn't know anything about it's history. He said it was basically a gold blue spruce.

    I never know of the vailidity of some of these plants. It seems like every day somebody releases a new plant (not just conifers) and renames it and presto... come and get it. That is why I posted the question hoping somebody else may have this plant in their garden. There must be a dozen or so gold Colorado spruces out there.

    Redwing Conifer, since you posted that link from Buchholz, I feel that this may be a legitimate plant because of the 2 sources (he doesn't buy there). Not too sure how glorious this one is going to be though...

    Jan, has a 3 gallon "Gold Mine" for me next month when he comes down to pick up his liners. Once I see it, I will compare it with some of the others I have here.

    Thanks for weighing in. Until then for this one...
