Gold Cone,Gold Totem,Golden Schnapp's,Hibernica,Blue Chip

Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone' ... i cant tell it apart from the next ..... but both are young ... maybe time will tell.. or one of you .... i wouldnt put much stock in comparing colr based on my camera.. and the sunlight differences ...

{{gwi:823533}}

Juniperus communis 'Gold Totem' .. someday my plants will be big enough to cut off pieces to cary to the other to compare ... they are probably big enough now.. just never did it ....

{{gwi:823535}}

Juniperus communis 'Golden Schnapp's' ... under a surviving ash ... not much yellow there ... i will have to watch this one in winter or spring ....

{{gwi:823537}}

Juniperus communis 'Hibernica' .. one of my first... not really a pretty tree .... planted straight up ... why do trees lean into the hill???

    As usual good quality conifers

    I see one missing that you should have.

    Juniperus communis 'Brynhyfryd Gold'. A new Scottish selection that is a variation of compressa with growing points emerging yellow in Spring. The foliage matures to blue/green in Summer retaining a slight yellow foliage under tone.

    This one came from Iseli.

    medio [middle] variegated tulip tree.. which is not a tulip ... i am blanking on the proper name ... gosh is google fast ....

    Liriodendron tulipifera 'Medio Variegated' ... which is probably an improper name... lol ... without the need to argue about propriety .. is there a better name?????

    Here is a link that might be useful: tulip .. smulip ...

    The one with yellow in the middle of the leaf is 'Aureo-pictum'.
