New hahnii cultivar???

11 years ago

Hallo, I am new in the forum. I received this plant from Thailand, labelled as "S.hahnii crested". Never seen before and I have no ideas what kind of cultivar could be. Help!!

(The link below is from Infojardin Forum: sorry, I don't know how to place my fotos here!)

I looked over the photos. Don't know if the term 'Crested' applies here but it is different that any I have seen. Very dense and thick. Leaves seem narrower than species. I know Karen would love this one but I like variegation in mine. But you got a lovely find there. I would treat it like any regular hahnii. Make sure it is in well draining mix. Not the mix they usually sell them in and keep on the dry side like any sans. Out of drafts and no colder than 50 degree nights. Hope to see more of it in future.

To me, this looks similar to 'Loop's Pride'. Your plant appears to have crests or fasciations associated with the mid-rib (or about that location). I have only seen both this and Loops in pictures so I can't say they are the same.

As there are quite a few new cultivars coming out of Thailand right now, it could indeed be different.

Like Stush said, keep it warm and on the dry side. I hear that Loops is very sensitive to over watering.

Any new cultivars that bloom on new wood?

The only new intro for 2006, that I am aware of, is 'Blushing Bride', an ES variant. It joins the list of currently available "remondent" cultivars, ES, Penny Mac, David Ramsey, Decatur Blue and Oak Hill(which is the only one of the group, other than ES, that flowered on new wood in my garden this year. Both are still in bloom. ES still has many buds, but they will be history after the first freeze. For Lace-caps, have only 3 that set scattered buds and flowers on new growth, 2 are H. serrata's, 'Shichidanka' and an un-named cultivar grown from cuttings provided by Cristopher Lloyd(UK)(the Plantsman, not the Actor!) and H. mac. 'Madame Emile Mouillere'. Yep, I have one that has (both) white mops and blue L-C's on the same plant. Something in the water? soil? Can't be soil ammendments or fertilizer, I don't use either on my Hydrangeas.Must be in the Genes. Rb

Wow amazing! Did you discover the cultivar through constantly grafting Meyer scions? I did hear about how some varieties in the past were discovered through mutations in the branches taken off of the original mother tree and that can be the origin of a new cultivar rather than cultivating through seed germinating. Regardless, what an amazing discovery! I love that we have another Meyer strain introduced to the world!

Oyster, Great news. Could you include some pictures from his plant. I know the older they get and larger increase their survival. Mine started to have a faint green cast to it and a very thin green edge to one newer leaf but was too small and when the leaf it was growing off of died, so did it. Jeff, the bigger the plant, the stronger they are. They are considered indestructible due to the fact that if you forget about them (neglect) they continue to thrive. When we love them too much like over watering and over fertilize they die. Still working on mixes. All plants need air around their roots. We use grit to increase the air and aid to remove excess water. Plants grown in the ground mostly have a clay base and little air, so what gives? I think that's why my Bantal's Sensation grew the best one year in wet soggy soil filled with tinny black ants. They had tunnels every where in the soil.

But then how would one explain its dwarf growth rate on that 60 year old spruce that is only 15-20 ft tall? 60 years isn't too soon is it? Also 12 years in a pot with 3 in growth every year is too soon? And since it hasn't died in a couple decades there are probably no issues on roots. Just an extremely slow growth rate, which Btw is not a only a little slower than the ones growing wild in its native range.. It's alot slower. They can grow up to 150 ft tall. And 20 ft in 60 years is no where near that. True the potted ones may have been stunted because of the pot but the parent tree in the ground also has a similar growth rate. I know you guys are more experienced and know about conifers alot better than me but something doesn't add up.. The growth rates on the parent tree and the potted ones I have are the same.

Hi Roberto,

Welcome to this forum, interesting plant, I haven't seen anything like that before.

Sorry, but I've never heard of a crested Sans. I don't see what's crested about it, it seems low growing & multi-leafed as I can see from here.

Oh Norma, are you around pls? Do you know about this?

Anyway, you've been given excellent advice above, I'd follow that.

Thanks to all of You. Here are the photos (I realized the HTML code is needed to upload them...)

It is really new for me, if a few photos of this cv are shown on G...gle Image. As far as I know this plant originated in Thailand and , in facts,I received it from a Thai nursery. Leaves are hard and thick, very unlike hahniiÃ¯Â¿Â½s. Looks more like a hybrid (but between which species?)I am curious to make some leaf cuttings, just to see if they come out true.

Roberto,
Keep a look out for pups. New growth from the roots. It is interesting to see what develops. Also I do believe it will come true from stem cuttings as does regular hahnii does but also would love to see what develops.
Please don't disappear. I would like to see what happens. I don't believe it is a hybrid but a cultivar. They grow hundreds of hahnii in Thailand and look for any changes that may be of interest. Their growing conditions for Sans is excellent. I hope they become popular here so I may get one sometime in the future.

Roberto must have disappeared. Hope you come back. I was relooking over those pictures. I believe if the top soil was removed, you would see the crest from the top of the rhizone. Way too many leaves to be normal. I would love to see more photos. Roberto??
