Uber. You should do time lapse photos Steven, like 'Ten years of etc...

Also is the spelling listed above correct?

I have Abies koreana 'Kohout's Hexe'.

What a treat to see your amazing conifers. I also enjoyed very much seeing the overall look of your landscape from the pictures you posted last week. The color range has so much contrast, and the textures create a very nice sense of movement. That can't be easy to do, especially with a collection as large as yours. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for the nice words Jon, Ken, and Rick. Yeah, I know I planted them rather close. I'm coming around to the viewpoint that it'll be easier to move them in a few years than it would be to maintain them in containers over the same period. Container maintenance becomes a bit much (for me, at least) above a hundred container plants, and a major goal was to get a lot of plants into the ground. I'm planning for the next several years, not the next several decades like some of you folks. I don't mind moving them when the time comes, and I'll have more space opened up by then. Call it planting at the Fletcher density...well maybe not that close :o). I buy the pine bark nuggets by the bag; they're not available in bulk around here. Local garden centers and big box stores have them for ~$2.5-3.5 for a 2 cubic ft bag, so it comes out to a little bit more than bulk mulch delivered. It's worth it IMO for the aesthetic value and also for its greater longevity - the nuggets will last much longer than shredded hardwood mulch, which needs to be replaced every year or two. A side benefit is that its much faster to apply mulch from bags. -Alex

According to Welch/Haddow it was found by a German and introduced by a German Nursery and there is a Treblitsch Tree Park near a place named Belgern. Treblitzsch, 04874 Belgern, Nordsachsen, Sachsen, Germany is the actual address of the tree park Just because a Czech friend says this is the correct spelling does not make it so simply because he/she is a Czech. Anyone can determine the correct name regardless of nationality. Even me, although I am not Czech. Anyone can also misspell names regardless of nationality. I can search the internet as good as anyone else when it comes to verifying names and now that I see it needs a 'Z' in the name I'll be adding it. I even found this listing on an European nursery list: Picea omorika 'Treblitz' Bob

In my opinion this cultivar is one of the best witches' brooms of this species, the 'Wellenseind' will be at the second place.

'Kohout Hexe' is the right spelling

Also a lot of people are misspelling the other one which was found by the Kohout Nursery from Germany:
Abies koreana 'Kohouts Icebreaker' is the right one.
Misspellings for this one are:
-'Kohout's Icebreaker'
-'Kohout's Ice Breaker'

Yes sorry, agree Kohout Hexe ...never got round to changing my details as I haven't with many in the last couple of years.
Edwin - I guess Jorg can name his plant anyway he wants, but as he has chosen an English name, strictly speaking there should be an apostrophe s in 'Kohouts Icebreaker' so Kohout's Icebreaker should be the correct way of spelling this name.

Stephen, you're completely right, but it's the International Plant Breeders Commitee who decided that cultivar names may not end with an apostrophe s.
Because Joerg put a patent on it is has to be written as 'Kohouts Ice Breaker.
If there was not a patent on it then it had to be written as 'Kohout's Ice Breaker.

I know this all from own experiences with my Filip selections.
All are written with an apostrophe s, except for my patented yellow 'Smaragd' which must be written as 'Filips Magic Moment'...

Thanks Edwin, and to think I rooted a few cuttings of your Thuja occidentalis 'Magic Moment' guess I'll have to give them away now ;0)

Stephen, I guess we can fix this in a proper way.
A few extra scions for me of your Pinus sylvestris finds will do for me ;0)

Btw, can you show us a pic of the 'Filips Magic Moment' in your garden?
Thanks!

I prefer 'Wellenseind' though I've not bought one. It just seems perfect with thicker needles and the white reverses, do you have a picture to compare?

Of coarse I've one ;0)

Abies koreana 'Wellenseind'

Other very nice witches' brooms of this species are:
Abies koreana 'Arbor's Hexe'

Abies koreana 'Dennis'

Abies koreana 'Silberkugel'

In fact they're all beautiful...
