Also this unbeliveable 15m tall and extremealy narrow picea abies pendula grows wild near by in Sievi, Finland. Forest around it has been clearcutted some 10 years ago.

Wow, great finds!
Please, reserve me some scions of both specimens...

I like that narrow form you must get grafting.

Woah! That second one is awesome!

Wow! Stunning! Yes please send some scion to Coniferjoy. Jay

Yes, very nice finds.

Must be the genetic results of the Chernobyl disaster! Or maybe not.

That narrow one must grafted in high number... Amazing. What about the wind? How flexible it is?

Jarpe! Please send me an e-mail. I have some questions for you.

Zsolti! i quess it must stand pretty solid for not been nocked down for this past 10 years. Usually picea abies, left alone in the middle of clearing like this falls down in the first storm because of its shallow roots. I think maby wind gets no grip of itôs narrow form.

Hi Jarpe, this narrow spruce is super. May I have some scionwood ? Are you grafting ? I can send some scionwoods from my this year new wb discoveries.

Ok Slama, send me email with your adress. I try to get you some. (jari.penttila@mhy.fi) I am grafting in a small skale and would love to get my hands on some of your wb material.

Narrow spruce of Sievi as 1 year old Graft in my garden

Hey Jari, it's very nice to see the first graft ever of your find.

What kind of binding material do you use?
It looks like sticky tape to me...

Yes i grafted this with common plastic tape used in offices. I got some grafting rubberbands and plastic wrap called parafilm or buddytape later and survival persentage has since gone up.
This really might be first graft ever made of that unique narrow tree. Impossible to know for sure though.
