| Another pine species I have some photos to share. If you'd like to show some of your cultivars please feel free.
Pinus sylvestris 'KBN Gold Sport'. Nifty compact pine with some gold hues in Spring. Mine only gets about 4-5 hours of direct sun a day. Perhaps brighter in full sun.
'Inverleith'. A bright white, varigated pine. The new needles spring forth very bright white. A great look.
'Gold Coin'. Very bright gold in Fall/Winter, it's hues slow fade to a chartruese-green by Summer.
'Nisbet Aurea'. I believe this name was changed or spelled wrong, I saw something about it recently. Also fairly gold/yellow in Winter.
'Calle'. One of several near-miniatures, this fine pine is almost ten years old - amazing since I bought it new from Coenosium Gardens two years ago.
'Jeremy'. Also very small, this distinct small dwarf grows a couple inches a year once established.
'Little Ann'. A real small dwarf, also pushing 8-10 years old.
'Hrock'. A true miniature, pushing 'ultra-miniature' size of about 1/2 an inch a year. Seemed like THOUSANDS of little candles came rushing out of this little gem this Spring then pushed as hard as they could into a super-tight, choice green bun. That's acer palmatum 'Hupp's Dwarf' next to it, about 7-8 years old and fits in perfect together.
A closeup on the miniature branches.

| 'Miba' isn't from Poland, it's a Dutch witches'broom found by Piet Vergeldt from Lottum. The true name is 'Pevé Miba' 'Nisbet Aurea' must be written as 'Aurea Nisbet' which is the original name. 'Zoelen' 'Pixie' |
|
| Dear Zsolt - Bialogon comes for 100% from Poland. I suppose that Ksawerow too, but I am not sure. I don't know where Vargguld comes from. Coniferjoy - thank you for detail about Peve Miba! Here is another one - Globosa Viridis

| You're welcome rispetto. The 'Vargguld' comes from Sweden and is found by Brita Johansson as a branch mutation on a species tree. |

| Thanks for sharing fellas. I've never seen any of these specimens for sale in the US, are they Europe-exclusive?? Here's a couple more I planted this Spring: Pinus sylvestris 'Spann's Slow Column'. A very narrow, dwarf, bluish pine. Can't wait for it to shoot straight up. 'Hillside Creeper'. A ground cover type pine, this cultivar usually grows irregularly and spreads wider then high. |

| I took a look to this topic again because Pinus sylvestris does have a very nice amound of good cultivars and are one of my favorites at my nursery because of their good winterhardiness. Will, a spellcheck for the 'Spann's Slow Column' which must be written as 'Spaan's Slow Column'. 'Candlelight' |
|
| Edwin nice sylvestris 'Candlelight'! Rispetto, I've got a Pinus sylvestris "Xavery", isn't it the same with your Ksawerow (white tips in spring)
Pinus sylvestris "Xavery"
Pinus sylvestris var. lapponica Fritsche Maria |

| Wow Maria, great plants! Nice shiny pine too Edwin, nice to see you folks still contributing - I know your collections span almost indefinitely! -Will |

| Pinus sylvestris 'Ksawerów' is quite simular to Pinus sylvestris 'Xavery' which is also written as 'Xaweri'. I have it in my collection as 'Xawery', maybe Rispetto can give us more clearity about this cultivar name. The thing is that 'Xaweri' does have the white new Spring growth and that 'Xaweri 1' is green all the time. |

 Pinus sylvestris 'Marshall'

| Stephen, is the 'Chris's Broom' found by Chris Reynolds from the Bedgebury Pinetum? I have one which is named 'Bedgebury W.B.' which is maybe the same one? In my opinion it's 'Chris' Broom' instead of 'Chris's Broom'... The apostrophe means that this is a broom of Chris and a double s should not be mentioned. Can you tell us some details about the others? |
|
- Posted by bluespruce53 Dorset UK (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 10:05
| Hi Edwin, The broom is one of mine, and named after my son Chris, because he is the one that actually spotted it when we were out collecting material from another broom in the New Forest. The 's is correct because it denotes possession and belonging too. Although just the apostrophe on its own is also correct, as far as I'm aware you can use either, and as I named the broom I chose the 's. The Bedgebury witches' broom is an inferior broom and should be named Pinus sylvestris 'Bedgebury WB S17(section 17) Pinus sylvestris 'Marshall' is an American selection, and a very good mini, possibly one of the best. Pinus sylvestris 'Bor' is from Jan Slama, looks like it will be good one, with very thick stems and conspicuous white and orange buds. Pinus sylvestris 'Big Boy' is another broom from me, and so named because of the size of the original broom. So far it's proven to be one of my better sylvestris brooms, and has stayed fairly slow growing and compact. Pinus sylvestris 'Fairy Nuff' is a selected seedling from John Proudfoot, from a deliberate cross between two sylvestris cultivars, the same way as he did all his parvilfora crosses. Hope this helps Edwin. |

| Hi Marek, Do you mean that you only succeed grafting with only one plant of that original witches'broom? 'Marek W.B.' is a good name... |
|
| Yes, only one. Hmmm... 'Mirek HB' already is: |
|
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 16:16
| I'm very sorry that I said 'Marek W.B.', I ment to say 'Mirak W.B'. You didn't answered my quiestion if you're a witches'broom hunter, but your last pic told us that you're one ;0) Which witches'brooms do you show us at this pic and where did you found these? |
|
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b/6a (My Page) on Sun, Oct 24, 10 at 19:08
| No Name wb grafted into a nice plant. How many Mirek HB did you graft successfully? How many brooms have you found? Thanks Mirek, Dax |
|
- Posted by longaeva54 6 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 25, 10 at 12:33
| You can view the brooms which Mirek found on this site. http://www.tomszak.pl/kolekcja_cm.php |
|
| No all... Mirek HB ok... but needles long (5-6 cm)  But: P. silv. 'Paprotnia'
|
|
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Mon, Oct 25, 10 at 15:12
Pinus sylvestris 'Ståle Sørensen W.B.'  It's a neat and compact witches'broom of the "Norsky Typ" which grows much more compact then the other natural varieties in Europe. I received the complete broom and named it after the finder. |
|
| P. silv. 'Krysia'
|
|
| Hello, mirek. Is your 'Krysia' wintergold or all year around? Maria |

| Hi Darek, That 'Genolier' is outstanding! The next time you will visit me, you can bring me one ;0) The 'Bialogon' looks very much the same as the English 'Brentmoor Blonde' isn't it Stephen? 'Bextel W.B.' |
|
| maryn2009 All year gold. |

- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b/6a (My Page) on Wed, Oct 27, 10 at 16:25
| Amazing Mirek. Your plant collection is fantastic. Those Beech & Oak are as well great. I see some "Maria" cultivars... Dax |
|
- Posted by bluespruce53 Dorset UK (My Page) on Wed, Oct 27, 10 at 17:08
| Edwin, the 'Bialogon' is probably a lot better than 'Brentmoor Blonde', I've down graded my view of that plant considerably in the last couple of years. Should it not also be Pinus sylvestris 'Bexel WB SDL |
|
- Posted by coniferjoy (My Page) on Thu, Oct 28, 10 at 2:30
| Stephen, how come that you down graded the 'Brentmoore Blonde. Does it grow to fast or did the white needles burn from the afternoon sun? I'm not sure if it's 'Bextel W.B. Slg' or 'Bextel W.B. Sdl'. |
|
- Posted by gardener365 IL 5b/6a (My Page) on Thu, Oct 28, 10 at 7:12
| What is the growth rate of 'Bor' Stephen? I didn't know some of that Edwin. I will use periods beteen W.B. .. Is it ever w.b.? Dax |
|

| Polkowski found Pinus sylvestris Bialogon. During a trip by train ,he spotted white needles on one of pinus sylvestris. Polkowsi returned to the spotted place and dug the plant The plant was dead unfortunately, but grafts were made in time. |
|
- Posted by bluespruce53 Dorset UK (My Page) on Thu, Oct 28, 10 at 12:49
| Cheers Edwin, what would we do without you...and yes, the 'Brentmoor B;onde' is a difficult plant, it's very thin branched and leggy, plus it can and does burn some summers and can look a right mess some years, but when it's good. it's outstanding. Dax, There's a bit of confusion with my 'Bor' now, since you posted the link to the Tomszak site, I checked the photo they have of 'Bor' there. Looks completely different to my plant...The strange thing is I cut away a lot of foliage from the base of my plant thinking it was bits of understock, and the foliage I removed looks very much like the foliage from the pic on the Tomszak plant, I had a problem knowing what was what, because I could not clearly see the graft union. Now I'm wondering if what I have left is a witches' broom that was growing in the center of the plant |

Pinus sylvestris 'Westonbirt' in frost.  Originally found as a broom in Westonbirt National Arboretum Gloucester UK - thought lost but subsequently rediscovered and sold at their excellent plant centre with a lot of unusual confirs, no website for the sales unfortunately. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Westonbirt National Arboretum UK
