Bump again

What about it? Is there a point to this thread?

'De Ruyter' is an excellent cultivar. Everybody should have it.

There was but not now. Sorry. Lost photo. I'll try again to take another photo if weather cooperates.

i wanted to immediately thank you for the effort to take.. upload and post the pic.. and doing the requisite research to present a brilliant post..

but i didnt want to knock you down the list.. waiting to see how it all went ...

i rarely post pix these days.. mostly because of the lack of interest in those browsing.. to even bother to chime in and give one a thumb up for the effort ....

its always the same 2 or 3 peeps ... unless you misspell the name.. then you get another.. lol ...

except for this one time.. i will always thank you.. and i am bummed you took it down ..

its foliage type.. reminded my much of 'papoose' .. the blue green short needles with white ... though of course its shape was completely different .... and that omorika zone 3/4 hardiness .. yowser ....

perhaps for someone who cant grow sitchensis ... this is a plant ... with a similar 'look' ....

THANKS DAVE!!!!

Thanks Ken for your positive comment. It gave me the uplift I needed today.

You are correct in your assessment of the 'De Ruyter' and 'Papoose' foliage being similar. I had a great specimen several years ago but it got up and croaked overnight. Such are the trials and tribulations of playing the conifer game.
