Very nice Henk, here are a few of mine.
Abies koreana 'Lorea'

Abies koreana 'Alpine Star'

Abies koreana 'Silberperl'

Kmanzfive,
your Abies koreana "Lorea" are very doubtfull, for me it's not abies koreana cultivar.

"your Abies koreana "Lorea" are very doubtfull, for me it's not abies koreana cultivar"

Looks like Tsuga mertensiana to me.

Resin

Hey now that I look at it I am opting towards a concolor.
Obiviously it was mislabled. Not an abies koreana nor a Tsuga mertensiana.

Here are a ouple more of mine.
Abies koreana never has been named. It is from the Sid Waxman collection. It is very prostrate and so far it does seem like it wants to throw any type of leader.

kmanzfive, My initial impression of 'Lorea' was that it was Abies lasiocarpa.

Dan

Can you do some close-up macro pics of this " 'Lorea' "? Underside of a shoot as well as top side.

Resin

Sure it will be later on today

I have also some...

Hi Resin this is the best I can do with the camera I have.

{{gwi:753191}}

Thanks!

Concur with Dan on Abies lasiocarpa from these

Resin

All righty then, Thanks Res., I will make a note of this much appreciated.

Does anybody have the normal species? Seems like it should be a beautiful tree and a fir that can grow decent in areas firs often do poorly. Should be more popular.

I've seen 4-5' tall specimens at my local nursery for under $100, beautiful trees, wish I had MORE SPACE!

I have about a half dozen cultivars to add to this parade, though as usual, just babies. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Will

Hi. I did plant a 'normal' koreana but it only lived for one year . I understand these trees don't appreciate great heat and drought (not when newly planted anyway).That experience somewhat cooled my enthusiasm for koreanas in general. I might give some of the cultivars another try though,seeing those from Henk in particular...'Blue Magic' and 'Cis', wow ,very tasty! T.

"Does anybody have the normal species?"

My pic (top of page) is the normal species

Resin

In Holland most of the normal species will be used as an understock for grafting it's cultivars and to graft other Abies species and their cultivars.

Here's a few I can add.

Abies koreana 'Silberlocke' - Becoming almost common place but still a gorgeous tree.

Abies koreana 'Blaue Pfiff' - A very strong blue, this shot doesn't do it justice.

Abies koreana 'Silber Mavers' - Syn. with 'Silbrperl', probably the same plant.

Abies koreana 'Gait' - A tiny cone already. Coenosium Gardens has two amazing photos on their website.

Abies koreana 'Aurea'

Abies koreana 'Glauca' - Love how this looks already.

Spelcheck for myself, Abies koreana 'Pinichio' must be written as 'Pinocchio', this was only a quick wrong type thing.

'Blaue Pfiff' must be written as 'Blauer Pfiff' which arose by chemical treathed seed by K. Wittbold-Müller from Germany.

'Silber Mavers' must be written as 'Silbermavers'
The "Conifers The Illustrated Encyclopedia" mentioned that this one was introduced by Bob Fincham but that is wrong information I think.
Why should Bob use a German cultivarname?

Abies koreana 'Glauca'
This name is illegitimate and was brought into the trade by Larry Stanley who mentioned that it arose from chemical treathed seed in Holland.
There's no blue selection from Holland that brought into the trade this way.
I think it is the same one as 'Blauer Pfiff' only the info was not completely right, it's from chemical treathed seed from Germany, not from Holland'.

A few questions.

If 'Blauer Pfiff' is correct, then is it Abies procera 'Blauer Hexe'?

Also, I've seen 'Silber Mavers' listed like that and...

'Silvermavers'
'Silbrmavers'

Additionally, I've seen cultivars named 'Silber Reif' and 'Silber Zwerg'.

Will,
It's all a question of German grammar!
'Blauer Pfiff' is correct: correct adjective ending for a masculine noun in nominative case
'Blaue Hexe' is correct: correct adjective ending for a feminine noun in nominative case
Richard

My last one's...

'Prostrate Beauty'

'Silberzwerg'

'Tundra'

Abies koreana "Gait"

t"

Abies koreana "Grazil"

Abies koreana "Luminetta" ( = Aurea)

noki,

We just bought a 4 ft tall species Abies koreana about a month or so ago and it IS a beautiful tree. Lots of lush green growth already, even though we just planted it. The undersides of the needles are silver-white in color.

I'll try to take a few photos and post them if you are interested.

Tunilla-

I think you should try the species again. I've had better luck with Abies koreana that any other fir. My climate while harsh in the winter is very similar to your's in terms of precipitation and heat. I also have loamy clay. Not rock hard clay like your's but still clay. I'll bet you'll do well. Keep it watered a bit during droughts and you should be good to go. Especially with all the other conifers you have growing. Chalk it up to bad luck and try again.

Clément,
'Aurea' is not the same as 'Luminetta'
'Aurea' is from Canada and was found by the Lohbrunner Nursery' in Victoria, Canada in 1956.

'Luminetta' is a synonym for 'Lutea' and was found found by Leen Konijn from holland.
'Lutea' was an illiegitimate name because it was found after 1959 and was later on changed in 'Luminetta'

Where's are boy blue?
Com'on blue we need you !

Coniferjoy,
What are the difference between Abies koreana "Aurea" and "Luminetta" ?
My plant with pyramidal shape like the type,+/- 25 years old, 6 to 7 metres hight.
Clément

Clément,
You mentioned that your plant is a 'Luminetta' which was named 'Lutea' in the past.
So 'Luminetta' is the same plant as 'Lutea'

'Luminetta' has nothing to do with 'Aurea' because they do have a differend origin.

The needle colour of an 'Aurea' is a golden yellow which will become dull in Autumn while the needle colour of a 'Luminetta' is a soft yellow which will become a yellowishgreen in Autumn.

Abies koreana 'Blinsham Gold'
{{gwi:753207}}

Abies koreana 'Tundra' - looks different from Edwins, and I'm certain mine is the correct plant.
{{gwi:753208}}

Bluespruce,
I'm also certain that I have the correct plant.
I got mine from Wiel Linssen.
But this doesn't matter because our plants are exactly the same, only my photo is taken last Winter after a rainy day.
At this moment mine looks just like yours :0)

I like the 'Blinsham Gold' you show us.
If I remember well it's a seedling of 'Aurea' and found by the Kenwith Nursery.
Did you buy this one from this boring nursery? ;0)

Yes I got it from Kenwith Nursery some years ago, wont be getting anything else from that place again though, wild horses couldn't drag me back up there again.

Picea orientalis 'Skylands Odd Form'

Picea orientalis 'Skylands Seedling' Removed leader for grafting purposes.


Picea orientalis 'Tom Thumb'

Picea orientalis 'Professor Langner'

Sorry for the screw up guys am I bad. Oh well enjoy.

Well done Kevin :0)

abies koreana 'Hulsdonk'
A bit strange in that it does not appear to have a leader

abies koreana 'Blauer Pfiff'

abies koreana 'Diskus'

abies koreana 'Fliegende Untertasse'
Normally a darker colour(?) but nice shape nonetheless

abies koreana 'Verdener Dom'

abies koreana 'Blue Emperor'

abies koreana 'Kohout'

Sprucebud,

Abies koreana 'Hulsdonk' will become a normal upright tree with nice blue needles.
It's selected by Cees van Ostaayen from Zundert, Holland.

The 'Diskus' is not a true A. koreana cultivar, it's a cross with Abies lasiocarpa.

Clément,
Abies koreana 'Grazil' is one of the most smal miniature selections ever found of this species, it's a natural bonsai.
Unfortunately the name 'Grazil' is no longer used, it's changed in 'Inge'.
