Can't take the heat
Comments (12)Interesting list....thx Dax. Many of these are in the ground already but the following list is my master list when I am done. I am confident I'll mofidy some as I go. Many of these are scheduled to arrive this fall and next spring. This spring I am still in the final construction phase so I won't be planting much new stock. So Resin, or anyone else for that matter, if you see anything on this list that is pretty much guaranteed to probably fail, don't be afraid to let me know. In Oklahoma's 7A we are mostly a mild climate with average to slightly high annual relative humidy - higher than Denver - lower than Houston. We typically see around 10-20 days over 100 in the summer and around 30 days between 15-32 in the winter. Our winters and springs are typically wet. That being said, after all the planning and re-planning over the last year, here's the list : Abies koreana 'Ci's' Abies koreana 'Green Carpet' Abies koreana 'IceBreaker' Abies koreana 'Silberlocke' Abies nordmanniana 'Golden Spreader' Abies procera 'Blaue Hexe' Acer palmatum 'Aratama' Acer palmatum dissectum 'Red Select' Acer palmatum 'Murasaki Kiyohime' Acer palmatum 'Orangeola' Acer palmatum 'Shaina' Acer palmatum 'Shirazz' Cedrus deodara 'Cream Puff' Cedrus deodara 'Deep Cove' Cedrus deodara 'Feelin Blue' Cedrus deodara 'Snow Sprite' Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Treasure Island' Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Barry's Silver' Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Silver Threads' Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Glauca Pendula' Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Butter Ball' Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold' Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana' Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Snowkist' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Cream Ball' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Curly Tops' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Golden Pin Cushion' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Lemon Thread' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Tsukumo' Chamaecyparis pisifera 'White Pygmy' Cryptomeria japonica 'Knaptonensis' Cryptomeria japonica 'Little Champion' Cryptomeria japonica 'Sekkan-sugi' Ginkgo biloba 'Marieken' Juniperus horizontalis Mother Lode Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet' Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star' Juniperus squamata 'Holger' Picea abies 'Acrocona' Picea abies 'Aurea Jacobsen' Picea abies 'Gold Drift' Picea abies 'Pendula Picea abies 'Perrys Gold' Picea abies 'Pusch' Picea glauca 'Jean's Dilly' Picea glauca 'Rainbows End' Picea omorika 'Pendula Bruns' or 'Bruns Pendula' Picea omorika 'Peve Tijn' Picea omorika 'Pimoko' Picea orientalis 'Skylands' Picea orientalis 'Tom Thumb Gold' Picea pungens 'Glauca Slenderina Pendula' Picea pungens 'Herman Naue' Picea pungens 'Iseli Snowkiss' Picea pungens 'Lutea' Picea pungens 'Procumbens' Picea pungens 'Rovelli's Monument' Picea pungens 'Sester Dwarf' Picea pungens varietal Glauca Picea pungens 'Walnut Glen' Pinus contorta 'Chief Joseph' Pinus contorta 'Taylor's Sunburst' Pinus flexilis 'Extra Blue' Pinus leucodermis Smidt' Pinus leucodermis 'Banderica' Pinus mugo 'Carstens Wintergold' Pinus mugo 'Moppet' Pinus mugo 'Mops' Pinus mugo Pot o' Gold' Pinus mugo 'Sherwood Compact' Pinus parviflora 'Goldilocks' Pinus parviflora 'Ogon Janome' Pinus strobiformis 'Coronado' Pinus strobus 'Niagara Falls' Pinus strobus 'Sea Urchin' Pinus strobus 'Tiny Kurls' Pinus thunbergii 'Ogon' Pinus thunbergii 'Shirome Janome' Pinus thunbergii 'Thunderhead' Sciadopitys verticillata 'Joe Kozey' Sciadopitys verticillata 'Variegated' Sciadopitys verticillata 'Ossorio's Gold' Taxus cuspidata 'Dwarf Bright Gold' Taxus cuspidata 'Nana Aurescens' Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold' Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' Thuja plicata 'Whipcord' Tsuga canadensis 'Summer Snow' Tsuga canadensis 'Vermeulen Wintergold'...See MoreJust got Thuja koraiensis x occidentalis
Comments (11)Euan sign up for Photobucket. It takes one minute. It's free. On the top line there you will see "My albums", click on that. A new screen will open. There you will see "Create new album". Click on that. >name your album. Once your album is named. Open that album. Now you will See in bold fonts: i.e. Euan's Conifers 2010 and to the right of that Title you will see another clickable link > "Album options" > click on that > click on "Upload photos and videos" ...> click on that. From there, you will see a big GREEN box that says: "Select Photos and Videos" - this is a slow option that only uploads (1) photo at a time. I never use that... Instead, under this big green box there's a link that says> "bulk uploader" > click on that instead. It will take a few moments for it to open up to all your folders on your computer/photo folders. From there, select the folder (left hand side) that has the photos you wish to upload and then, (one by one) click on these photos and they will "drop" below - you can click on as many photos as you want. When finished, simply select/click on the big blue box at the bottom right hand corner that says "Upload". The uploading process will begin. When it is finished bringing your photos from your computer to Photobucket, you have the option to name each individual photo and then click on> "Save" Now - your album has photos in it. Hover/move the mouse to a photo and you will see that (4) "lines" appear below each photo - these are strings of characters. The third one from the top is "HTML code" > click on that and on your screen you will see, "copied" > it's automatic............ Now come back to GW - this exact box I am typing in now and "right click your mouse" and select "Paste" - the HTML code will appear in this "Box". To be sure you selected the correct line of characters(HTML code) click on "Preview Message" as you would normally do to post a message on any thread............. if the photo shows up, you know you selected "HTML code" and you can continue to add photos - if wanted to these threads. Here I selected "HTML code" for Abies concolor 'Gable's Weeping' from my scanned photos before I owned a digital camera - Print this Euan. It's extremely simple. I've literally written the map for you. There's no reason anyone cannot do this. ------ shastensis, I've never heard of a Thuja that when produced from a seed or later as a cutting becoming upright if the ortet plant wasn't upright, also. Those will continue to grow sideways, or prostrate. Let's give a shout out to Euan everyone. We're 'rooting' for you dude! Dax...See MoreThuja koraiensis x Thuja standishii
Comments (1)Two hybrids of different parentage are planted near one another at the Seattle arboretum, I think the ones labeled with this parentage are a somewhat coarse type resembling T. occidentalis 'Aureospicata' in general aspect. It seemed these had a US National Arboretum accession number on the tags at one time but that during my last look some years ago this was no longer part of the labeling....See More'Conifer Cold Hardiness' pp. 13-21
Comments (19)"if this accurately represents tree hardiness, a number of trees deserve colder ratingscolor>" Let's look at which trees those might be.... From experience (three winters) I would say Picea breweriana is quite happy in my zone -- versus the Z6 designation above. Especially this year, the new shoots are extra long ! By contrast, I would probably move Pinus thunbergii from Z6 to Z7 -- no end of grief with this one (yet). My Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata Aurea' is doing a lot better, despite being rated the same Z6. That Z8 rating for Sciadopitys verticillata seems totally out of whack with what I've been told recently on this forum, although I have no experience with it myself. Z7 for Picea sitchensis seems a bit overblown too.... and probably likewise for Cephalotaxus harringtonia. And Pinus contorta rated Z7?! ....give me a break ! Not easy to find a reliable list, that's for sure....See MoreRelated Professionals
