| I have four types of conifers given to me that I am not sure exactly what they are and one that I'd appreciate more info on. Can anyone help me ID?
Unknown pinus #1 has multi-colored needles: Unknown pinus #2 has more rigid needles:
Unknown picea? #3:
Unknown picea graft #4: Finally, a labelled plant, but I'm wondering if anyone can give me details on growth/habit/etc? Thank you!! |

| "Picea orientalis 'pendula' - Weeping Japanese Spruce" That's funny! If by Japanese, they meant the Caucasus Mountains of Russia and Georgia, then they got it about right. |

| Isn't the island of Japan in Russia? ;) I was guessing that common name was wrong... Sounds like someone was geographically challenged. As an aside, the plants above are all from different growers around Portland, OR. |

| #1 is one of the white pines. #2 is a Scots Pine Pinus sylvestris cultivar. #3 is a Caucasian Spruce Picea orientalis cultivar. Resin |

| Thanks, all. I will report back if the colors change to help ID further. For now, I appreciate the identification so I can research growth habit. |
