Friends, let's finish the Cupressus file with Cupressus sempervirens. Most of the shown cultivars are from very dry and vaste areas, and maybe, the past winter photos are not the best way to introduce them. They exist, and gives hope to be hardier as the known cultivar ones. We, living in the continental Europe are searching for similar continental cypresses, of course, and going to find the most hardier, drought tolerant selections. If you are interested of maritime or pazific cypresses, please visit to the marvellous site of the Cedar Lodge nursery in New Zealand. Greg Sampson, the son of David and Noeline Sampson leads a magnificent nursery in New Plymouth, and it's full with cypresses, which are only in our minds, who live in continents. As we fight against frosts and droughts, Greg must select conifers, which are proved the salt see winds. Some of his plants are time to time on Larry Stanley's lists.

Photo documentation Photo author me Photo author me Just found Last week I was in Szombathely HUN, took part the yearly meeting of the Western Hungarian Nursery Society, where the Conifer Tresury 3.0 was first introduced. In a nice village I met a strange giant dwarf Picea pungens. I made some photos, and shown to Tóth Gyula, the hungarian conifer ceasar". Gyula told me, he is also looking this one since 20 years, but till now had no decision, weather this one will work good. In the middle there are dried branchlets, possibly this could cause later some problem. Maybe, if we cut from the top, we could have a nice new cultivar This is an adventure, how to bring out this aged beauty a wealthy nice new plant. Any suggestions, Friends? Anyway, this plant is a member of the series of Picea pungens in Hungary, which are first pendulous, than blue or green, and give a sight as of they would be columns.
