| NEVER knock your own posts down .. especially in the doldrums of winter .... GW is just not that active ... my question to you: WHAT DOES IT MATTER???? all that matters is what is available on the market ... buy whichever you can get ... that said ... coloration is a vigor variable ... green pungens have a growth rate of about 1 foot ... the blue ones.. being a green tree with a wax that reflects the blue sky.. are basically the same ... when we get to these foo foo pungens.. that have white tissue for a month of the year [???] .. and add the fact that it is usually suggested we plant them in some shade to hold or extend the color in summer ... we reduce vigor ... most of my SG-spring ghost are under 2 feet .... and barely get 6 inches of growth ... i have none of the others you list .... and i dont recall them being on sales lists in years past ... all will have the basic shape of a nice pungens ... in time ... based on clements side graft issues ... i recall the jag part.. but are you in tex??? if so.. the issue is how long the color will last in warm clime... some springs the cream on SG can last 2 weeks.. in a very cool spring ... but if you get a few days of heat.. right at bud burst.. well..color can last minutes ... well.. days ... regardless.. if you have the space.. these are toe curlers.. even if for only a week a year ... i would recommend you find one that is blue .... with the spring color.. to add to your longer enjoyment ... SPRING YELLOW if you can find it .... and SG is not quite a green the rest of the year.. but not quite blue .... i dont know if this cleared the fog.. or added to it ... i dont have time to fool with pix today ... maybe later ... ken |
