Wow, avalanche of excellent pictures. Thanks!

phewwwww blew me away.

I'm very curious about Pinus pinea "Montreux" (probably Montreux a town of Switzerland) where is possible I buy this plant ??
Clement

Hello, Clement. Bob Fincham from Coenosium Gardens currently has this plant for sale.
I do not know the story behind the name, however.

Never heard of many of these species. I'll have to start checking it out to see I can grow any of them.

As always, enjoyed the pics.

Very nice stuff, Sam. Thanks.

Do you have a more distant pic of Abies amabilis 'Compacta' ?

It looks almost like it's frosted white with narrow green varigation.

It isn't variegation, it is simply the silvery stomata bands on the underside of the needles contrasting with the glossy-green surfaces. Here is a picture of the whole plant:

A few of these species I am going to make some galleries later this Summer. I just have too many photos to cram into one gigantic post. Pinus nigra, Abies fraseri, Abies pinsapo and Abies veitchii for starters.

That said, here are some I can add:
Cupressus nootkatensis 'Boyko's Sundown'. A wonderful gold-green, usually more golden. This color lasts year-round but it's stronger during the growing season. Grows more like 'Pendula' which is to say somewhat weeping but not as narrow as a plant like 'Green Arrow'.
{{gwi:613406}}

{{gwi:613407}}

Part shade, note the considerable less color. (Needs to be moved).
{{gwi:613408}}

Abies cilicica 'Spring Grove'
{{gwi:613410}}

Pinus densiflora(x nigra perhaps?) 'Judy's Gem'. A newer introduction from Jim Boyko, named for his wife.
{{gwi:613412}}

More photos!

Pinus monticola 'Nana'. A beauty.
{{gwi:613413}}

Abies vejari. An alpine fir from Mexico. Very rare and endangered in the wild. Also stunningly beautiful.
{{gwi:613414}}
{{gwi:613415}}

I need help here too(paging Edwin please!).
Three plants, perhaps all the same cultivar? Looking at my notes, they were all suggested as...

Abies cilicica 'Spring Grove', the cultivar I posted a few photos above. Here is one of the other two plants listed as:

Abies cephalonica 'Hunnewell W.B.'. Certainly not cephalonica.
{{gwi:613416}}

Abies fargesii 'Headford'. Often mistaken as Abies delavayi('Nana Headford' - which is incorrect).
{{gwi:613418}}

Abies x umbellata (cross of Abies firma x Abies homolepis)
{{gwi:613419}}
{{gwi:613420}}

Abies firma 'Halgren'
{{gwi:613421}}

Picea glehnii 'Yatsubusa'. Awesome colors and VERY compact. Happy here in part-shade.
{{gwi:613422}}

Pinus wallichiana 'Frosty'. Need to remove some understock.
{{gwi:613423}}

Picea bi-color 'Prostrata'
{{gwi:613424}}

Juniperus communis 'Horstmann'. A weeping variety.
{{gwi:613425}}

Pinus virginiana 'Driscoll'

Characterized by a unique, bright, light green color, this compact, rounded mound takes on golden tones in winter. Its somewhat irregular, globose habit fits well in a range of garden situations, but its ability to grow well in poor, dry soils where other pines won't, makes it an excellent choice for challenging, sunny sites. An American native from the East Coast, it has twisted, substantial needles, outstretched branches and reddish purple young stems Grows about an 1-1/2 inches a year. Never a sign of stress from the Midwest drought and heat wave we experienced this summer. One of my favorite pines and the only one bearing this species name in my garden. Again one of my better buys.

Dave

{{gwi:613426}}

A huge one Dave. Didn't you acquire this monster recently?? Amazing it did so well through your Summer.

Abies squamata 'Flaky'. Seems like this may just be a mislabel though without knowing more, I wouldn't want to speculate too much. A neat intermediate tree with beautiful color and apparently stunning cones.
{{gwi:613427}}

Picea rubens 'W.B.'
{{gwi:613428}}

Picea rubens 'Pocono'. A strange one, very slow growing.

How about a Mendocino Cypress - Cupressus goveniana var. pygmaea:

{{gwi:22800}}

And a good ol' native Incense Cedar - Calocedrus decurrens:

{{gwi:613438}}

Pinus wallichiana 'Zebrina'. One of the fastest growing pines I have. Wow. Very beautiful though if you have room, get one!
{{gwi:613440}}

Cupressus nootkatensis 'Moonshot'. VERY narrow, the most narrow I have I think.
{{gwi:613442}}

No idea. Some kind of beautiful fir with purple pollen cones.

Cephalotaxus harringtonia, 'Prostrata'

I found this plant growing in Seattle 30 years ago and took a cutting. Now it's 30 ft. wide and stretches from one side of the picture to the other.

Doesn't look like it.

No? What would you suggest?

Josh

Cupressus goveniana var pygmaea

{{gwi:613469}}

How small is the mother plant for that 'Capulin', Nate? What a beauty! Maybe we trade more plants down the road! :p

Pinus jeffryi 'Lemon Mist'. A fast growing, large needled pine that has a nice golden glow in Winter.
{{gwi:613471}}

Pinus x hakkodensis. Silvery needles, similar to parviflora.
{{gwi:613474}}

Abies x bornmuelleriana 'Barney'
{{gwi:613477}}

Abies numidica 'Select'. Irregularly growing thus far, needs a leader to develop.
{{gwi:613479}}

Will,
Here's the 'Capulin' mother plant. A nice dwarf pinyon pine.

Abies magnifica var. shastensis

{{gwi:613485}}
Abies veitchi Heddergott

Abies magnifica var. shastensis are a tree, not a dwarf form.
Clement

I have this plant as well Clement with the same very miniature growth. It's clearly a witches broom of sometype, so does the designator Abies magnifica var. shastensis 'WB' apply here?

Abies x bornmuelleriana 'Franke' a witches broom found on the natural hybrid between A. nordmanniana and A. cephalonica
{{gwi:613487}}

-Sam

No, because it's not a broom of Abies magnifica, it's a broom of Abies lasiocarpa. Probably Abies lasiocarpa "Glacier" = "Logan Pass"
Maybe the confusion come from Horstmann nursery.
In my knowledge, only "Mt Si" are a true Abies magnifica broom.
Clement

{{gwi:613489}}
Picea engelmanii Cineiga

Abies x bornmuelleriana 'Franke' a witches broom found on the natural hybrid between A. nordmanniana and A. cephalonica

There is no such thing as a natural hybrid between Abies nordmanniana and Abies cephalonica. Like Abies nordmanniana, Abies bornmuelleriana belong to the alba group, not to the cephalonica one.

Here is a link that might be useful: Have a look to this other thread.

Clement, I just found abies magnifica shastensis WB on Mr Valenta homepage. Just look at the link below (Nr 189). It seems to be an abies magnifica broom. Am I right?
Unfortunately there is no picture.

Here is a link that might be useful: Caroveniky

Cephalotaxus harringtonia, 'Fastiagata'.
I've had this in a pot for a few years.
Time to plant it. Thinking of a place to put it has been more difficult than I anticipated.
