Abies pinsapo 'Fastigiata'
{{gwi:613611}}

Abies pinsapo 'Horstmann' or is it 'Horstmann Nana' or is it 'Horstmann's Nana'? These are the listings from three major US nurseries.

Will, it's just 'Horstmann'
The "Nana" part is illegitimate because this cultivar was found in 1978 which is after 1959.

I'm having trouble figuring out the dieback problem with the new growth on this Abies pinsapo, Aurea'. The new growth has been also coming in on a random time scale instead of one push. Adequate water, good drainage and sun. No fertilizer.

Got it, actually had it right in my database. Buchholz tends to be more accurate with the names versus Stanley.

Hi Mike, I've seen some of this on pinsapos as well. I attribute it to a fungus -- too wet a spring for a mediterranean plant.

Thank you Dave. That's what I figured as there were no signs of insect damage or insects, and I looked real close.
I'm getting needle blight on some of my Cedars also. I understand the two are not related.
Yes, we did have a wet Spring.

The new foliage on my 'Marokko' yellowed and dropped needles which I attributed to the endlessly wet summer. I transplanted it to a border and it seems happier. There was a matted feel to the container mix surface like a fungus which isn't in any others.

Another 'Tuarek'
