Shot a lot of photos this morning(needed rest in planting endless hostas!).

'Alberta Globe'. 4 years old?

'Arenson's Blue Varigated'. Maybe 5 years old.

'Burning Well' 6-8 years old.

'Cecilia'. One of the first plants I bought from Coenosiums. About 6 years old.

'Echiniformis'. A cool, wildly colored globe. 5-6 years old.

-Will

Sorry to say Will your 'Echiniformis' is a mariana...does anybody have the true 'Echiniformis in the States ??
Nice pics tho, keep em coming :0)

Picea glauca 'Pendula'

Edwin, where does your Picea glauca Echiniformis come from ?

Thanks again for the info fellas. To be honest, I'm glad it's mariana 'Nana', a plant I've looked for for a long time(and apparently had all along- lol). I do wonder if this plant is present in nurseries in the states. I have two from two different sources and they both appear to be Picea mariana.

Lots more today(it's raining, again):

Picea glauca 'Gnome'. Pretty darn slow growth.

'Goldilocks'. Going on it's third year. Heavily shaded as well.

'Jean's Dilly'

'Joseph Rys'

'Pixie'. Seems smaller then 'Gnome' or at least thinner.

'Palecek'

'Gold Tip'

'Rainbow's End'. Flushes bright green/gold later in Summer.(Will try and update).

'Pixie Dust'. Similarly flushes again with more color, very dense plant.

More then halfway through!

-Will

Stephen, I received that plant from Clément a couple of years ago.

Picea glauca "Vanilla Ice" in spring.

Picea glauca "Mac Gold" now in spring

Clément

Clement, the 'Vanilla Ice' is very good, where does that come from ?

Stephen, I'm surprised that you're not familiar with the 'Vanilla Ice', first named as 'Vanillaice' which is written in a bad English language.
It's found by Wiel as a mutation on a 'Daisy's White'.

Edwin, as none of you guys in Holland have told me about the plant...how would I know ? :0)

"Palecek" sounds like it might be a Czech cultivar: the word means "small thumb", and should have an apostrophe over the 'c' (pronounced as 'cz', as in Czech).

Jaro, I don't think I'm able to create those punctuations on U.S. keyboards?

Here's a few more, I'm searching about for the last handful...

Picea glauca 'Pendula'. My 'normal specimen. Wonderful, narrow weeping beauty. 6-7 years old?

'Pendula'. Either lost it's leader or never staked. Either way, it's neat looking.

'Hobbit'. Perfectly named. An awesome little globe.

-Will

'Heartland Metz' -- a broom discovered in Clinton, Iowa by my friend Charles Hunter. Named by Chub.

Beautiful plants Guys.

Keith, "Heartland Metz" is actually 'Metzger Broom' - confirmed by Dennis Hermsen.

'Ketch Harbor'

Hi all-

'Ketch Harbor'
Very nice!
Richard

Picea glauca 'Goldilocks'

Picea glauca 'Aurea'

Redwingconifer,
Picea glauca "Blue Planet" are a cv of Picea mariana =
Picea mariana "Blue Planet"

Spruce,
Are you sure of your Picea glauca "Aurea" ?? because it's probably Picea mariana "Aureovariegata" !

Clément

regarding Picea glauca or mariana 'Blue Planet- someone needs to get ahold of the folks at Iseli and find out what is going on with this plant. It is a fairly new introduction so I would think that tracing the plants origins would be fairly easy.

I had a talk with Don Howse once about 'Blue Planet.' If I remember correctly, he said it was found as a broom on Picea glauca 'Eichiniformis.' Of course we're all aware of the controversy surrounding 'Eichiniformis,' so there's little doubt that the same confusion carries over to 'Blue Planet.'

Lacking genetic info, just look at the plant. 'Echiniformis' and 'Blue Planet' look much more like mariana than glauca. Who's in charge of such things here?

Both plants are definitely mariana, because the true 'Echiniformis is something completely different...you can blame the Dutch for the original mix up many years ago :0)))

Yeah, blame it on the Dutch, but it wasn't me! ;o)
This happend way back before I knew what a conifer was...

Are you sure of your Picea glauca "Aurea" ?? because it's probably Picea mariana "Aureovariegata" !
Hi Clément,
Thanks for this information. I bought it from Hulsdonk labelled as Picea glauca 'Aurea' but I do not know for sure, I'm afraid.
Do you believe Picea glauca 'Aurea' is unlikely because it does not exist or because of some confusion?
Richard

This is the Picea glauca 'Aurea' from the Hulsdonk garden centre.
In my opinion it's a Picea mariana 'Aureovariegata'.

Here is a link that might be useful: Picea glauca 'Aurea'

No, I don't have,I never see, and I think he don't exist.
Clément

Picea glauca "Ore"

A little bit more:

Picea glauca Cemetario

Maria

Hello Maria, welcome to this forum!
You showed us some nice photo's and with some of these I wasn't familiar.

Picea glauca var. albertiana 'W.B.' isn't the true name of this witchesbroom, it's
Picea glauca var. albertiana 'Hexenbesen' or 'H.B.' which is a shortening for this cultivar.
It's a witches'broom found by Uwe Horstmann from Germany and the cultivarname is translated into the English language as many German cultivars did.
This is the one at my Pinetum
Picea glauca var. albertiana 'Hexenbesen'

Edwin, thank you for information!

Maria

Picea glauca "Holata"

Clement

Picea glauca 'Dendrofarma Aurea/ Gold'?

Maria, the true cultivarname is 'Dendrofarma Gold' which is found as a mutation on an 'Alberta Globe'.
It's found by the Dendrofarma Nursery in Poland.
Your's look like an 'Alberta Globe' now but will be yellow in Spring for a long time like this one.
'Dendrofarma Gold'

Thank you Edwin, I'll correct the tag!

Maria

I bought a conifer marked Picea abies Pendula at Home Depot. I am thinking that it might be mismarked because its needles are distinctly blue and resemble my Picea glauca Pendula in color, but the shape of the buds is more like Picea abies Pendula. Any tips on how to decide what it is?

The best tip ever is that you have to show us a photo, maybe then we can help you!

Picea glauca Blue Wonder

Picea glauca Terry's Variegated - branch mutation at a golf course in Canada found by Terry Roszko and introduced by Darren Heimbecker Whistling Gardens in 2009:
