Splaker, I suspect you'd get more responses if you started a new thread. Anyhow, I have found Korean Firs to be hardy in z4 WI, including Silberlocke. Mine grows near a large native White Pine on a peninsula-shaped spit of ground surrounded by asphalt and concrete. While researching siting this plant, I read in various articles that it tolerated moderate shade. It's doing fine, but I think it would like a bit more sun. It came through this past winter-from-hell looking good and is producing a nice crop of cones. Now I'm hoping we don't get a late frost that will wipe them out, which is what happened a couple years back.

Nate, I'm really ko because of the strange characters what gardenweb makes. Kekfesto - or Kékfestő- is the correct name. This means "painting blue", an old hungarian job to prepare clothes in cooking blue colors. Finally Toth Gyula prepared the O series grafts of my all new cultivars. Next week I plant them in a topsecret place as a mother plantage. I hope really, some of them may loved trees later. Zsolt

Well, I've been working on my wife for some time now really and she's beginning to mellow somewhat - I think I'm up to somewhere north of 125 conifers as well as a maple collection,and collections of sempervivums, sedums and daylilies...when I put it down in black and white, she is really VERY tolerant...but then again, her shoe collection is expanding at a comparable rate...:) And as far as grafting is concerned, Dax, that will require a prop house which isn't in the plans right now. I did attend a grafting class last year and have a healthy P.f. Vanderwolf's Pyramid to show for it. I will try some summer grafting of maples next year - maybe that will appease me until I get a house set up. Your new property looks great btw, Dax - congrats on seeing this dream come to fruition! It looks like you are building a great life out there for yourself.... Zack
