Conifers ID (name clarification)

9 years ago

Hello everyone,

We are running small family nursery in Serbia. Last 25 years my father collected multiple conifer species, but sometimes supplies didn't know exact name of plants they were selling. I am now trying to clarify which conifers are we producing.

Please help me if you know exact names of those conifers :)

I will be posting multiple photos of many species on this post...

1. Juniperus chinensis 'Blaauw'

During years we used to call this conifer 'Robusta Green', and then i found that it is more likely to be 'Blauuw'. So please clarify if it's really Blaauw, and what is Robusta green looking if you have picture of it :)

2. Thuja occidentalis 'Ericoides'

During many years we have been calling this "Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa'". Later I found that in Garden centres across Europe it is called "Thuja occidentalis 'Ericoides'".

I have found some nurseries to post pictures of this conifer under name "Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Ericoides'".

Plant on the photo has been slightly trimmed.

Please clarify if it is Thuja or Chamaecyparis. :-)

3. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Globus'

We have two simmilar conifers. This one we are calling 'Globus', and the other one we are calling 'Globus mini'. Second has smaller branches and it has more density.

This is the photo of 'Globus':

Will, your 3th 'Piccolo' is the true form, the other 2 are not. It looks to me that your first 'Piccolo' and second false 'Piccolo' are the Abies fraseri 'Fastigiata Compacta'. Your Abies fraseri 'Fastigiata Compacta' doesn't show a fastigiate growth at all so I presume that it isn't this cultivar but one of the many witches' brooms found of this species. The Abies nordmanniana 'Trautmann' doesn't seem to be an Abies nordmanniana at all. I hope Clement or Resin can help you out with the cone you're showing us... The Abies nordmanniana 'Pendula' isn't right, it looks like a cross between Abies grandis and Abies nordmanniana weeping form, maybe it's a true Abies grandis weeping form. Will, why don't you stake this one, maybe then it's more clear to see to which species it belongs... Your Picea mariana 'Fastigiata' is a columnar form of Picea abies, it's the 'Cupressina' or the 'Columnaris'. I hope I helped you a bit with my info. It's a big pitty that the seller sold you conifers under the wrong name, I can't understand why they are doing this. Maybe you can trace back some stocklists of these sellers so you can find out which other one's are possible?

I tried to copy and paste from my excel form but as I have Genus, Species, and Cultivar in different columns, but it didn't paste very well. I was thinking of a berm on the south side (neighbour). Below are some photos of the corner, I have planted Picea pungens glauca 'Royal Knight' in the corner so far, but I struggled between that one and Pinus nigra due to the latter's density and size. As you can see in the photos, there are a couple of stumps that we have to deal with. The large one was a dead maple tree but we do not know how long ago it died, and the other was a nasty Buckthorn. To begin the project, after we cleared the area, we rebuilt the century old cedar post and split rail fence and put back the old wire fence against it. The stone wall doesn't extend all of the way to the fence as can be seen in the photo below. View from my porch. garage on the left and barn on the right. I took the pic as a truck happened to be driving by; across the street, the neighbour's vehicles in his driveway are also visible. Closer, planted 'Royal Knight' can be seen. Looking along the south side from the corner (new neighbours soon). Looking along the east wall Please excuse the mess as this is a work in progress. In the area, there is also a 20' diameter garden (existing) and in the centre I planted Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Pendula'.

5. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Golden Globus'

I am pretty sure that this is wrong name. We called it like that because it grows simmilar to 'Globus', but it has golden branches at the ends. Younger plants doesn't look round at all, but it gets little bit rounder later:

6. Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Green globe'

We bought this plant under this name in Slovenia, couple of years ago. But it doesn't look like 'Green globe', when i google that name. It isn't globe at all...

7. Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Squarrosa intermedia'

Few days ago i found that it is probably called 'Squarrosa intermedia'. But I need confirmation.

Thank you for your patience, that's all I need for now :-)

The juniper may be too small to tell, the 'Ericoides' are presumably Chamaecyparis thyoides 'Ericoides'. Same region, different species.
