Are you sure if it's the true plant ?,I buyed some in the past, but never the true neoveitchii !
A good article are published in "The british Conifers Society Journal" n�16 - Spring 2011.by Chris Reynolds.
It seem Picea neoveitchii are not in cultivation !?
Clement

Yes the photo was sent to me by Cees he runs Hulsdonk
nursery in Belgium.

Clement, that's Cees van Ostaayen of the Hulsdonk Garden Centre.
Of coarse do you know him.
Since he does have his new garden centre in Belgium it could be very interesting to pay him a visit for this special rare spruce.
The only thing now is to find out if this plant is the true one...

For me it's not Picea wilsonii, too big cones.
Here is wilsonii :

With more finer foliage

The controversy never ends about who has the correct cultivar and who has the counter fit.

Enough good people here to keep thing straight. I have had my share of corrections. It works for me.

Thanks Dave for your comment.
I'm very glad that you believed the one's who were trying to help you to bring all to a correct naming of your conifer collection.

In the past a lot of conifers with old Latin cultivar names were renamed for commercial proposes.
Also conifers cultivars with a foreign cultivar name (other then English) were renamed for the same goal.

Regulary here at this forum I tried to help our members with giving the correct names for their conifers.
Most of the times they agree with my corrections, but I also came across some angry members which make me feel my help ungrateful...
The situation about renaming conifers is still going on, so I guess my job here will never end.
Somethimes this will happen peaceful, other times there will be a war.
But I can live with that, all the effort is to keep the records straight...

"For me it's not Picea wilsonii, too big cones"

No cones on Blue Yew's plant!

Resin

1) Resin and all
I have the same plant, the cone look like picea abies.

2) According to Coniferjoy, but not only.
The problem come from the few interest for the species, however it's the base,how is possible to identify a cultivar if you don't know the species ?
Also ,it's neccesary you ask to you some questions :It's realy the true plant ??
I remember: Abies homolepis "F.R. Newman" in first named borisii regis. Borisii regis ... is't possible ?someone of you know 1 plant in garden, nurseries, collection ?? Is't possible to mix an european species with a japanese species ?
Would you I remember (again) Picea jesoensis and alcoquiana ? grafted so many years by so many specialists ?
Specialists ?? Or picea mariana cv for picea glauca ? ...
Please study a little the species,it's very more easy after.

"1) Resin and all

Ah! If the cones look like Picea abies, it probably is Picea abies ;-)

2 cones from my plant.
But it's not Picea abies.
Clement

Those look like Picea asperata cones

Resin

{{gwi:641846}}
{{gwi:641847}}

Picea ?? named neoveichii ??
Clement

That also looks like Picea asperata

Resin

Yes, according to you, but it's the faster growth of this group.
Clement

Do you know the source of the plants? Wondering if a hybrid P. asperata x P. abies is possible?

Resin

This plant come from a dutch nursery, a hybrid ? why not ? I dont know.
Clement

Hi Clement, your false Picea
neoveitchii seems to be a Picea meyeri or an intermediate
taxon between P.
meyerii and asperata
that can be commonly found in the Picea neoveitchii aera. I had the chance to see three P. neoveitchii
including the one on the link posted above
by pineresin.

pineresin is right, this species closely resembles Picea Torano
