Nice informative video.

I have a Picea sitchensis 'Tenas/Papoose'.

A miniature..mine puts on about 1 inch of new growth each year.

One of my must have conifers.

In the same location for 10 years.

South exposure, full sun from 8 Am-5 PM. Typical Kansas heat and humidity.

Has thrived in that location with absolutely no issues and one of my most trouble free conifers.

You failed to mention...due to short sharp needles it is considered deer resistant.

Was found on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

The Pinus sylvestris 'Bonna' you showed us is in my opinion not the right one.
The true 'Bonna' has needles which are much more blue coloured and it doesn't have a pyramidal shape.
I think that you showed us a Pinus sylvestris 'Watereri' which has indeed blue-green needles.
This is the 'Bonna' which I have in my collection:

Dave,
'Papoose' and 'Tenas' are not the same plant but do have the same origin.
Both look the same whenn they are small but at an older age the'Papoose' is slower growing and is smaller in all it's parts. Was formerly known as No 1.
'Tenas' grows faster and was formerly known as No 2.

Dave, a handsome specimen.

lol, thanks Steve.

Dave, my 'Papoose' grows more rapidly then yours. Last years flush - and first after transplant, pushed an easy three inches on most terminal buds. For my climate anyway, I'd have to classify 'Papoose' as a medium dwarf globe.

Great plant though to be sure and very sharp - ouch!

Will, use the link below to go straight to the conifer tour page.

During this time we have been renowned as a leading conifer grower in Australia, supplying both the public and the trade.

Currently we grow more than 600 varieties, from tiny dwarf conifers to the large, fast growing screening conifers. We have attractive display gardens featuring many dwarf conifers.
Thank You.
