| Hey Folks! Nice pictures. Pinus sylvestris is very common around but I like it. Let me introduce u with my sylvestris broom which were found by me and my bride this year. 1/2012 little broom, it was 15 cm. It was found in shade. It looks like this right now: and the pine: 2/2012. Around 40-50 cm and it was in much better shape: And the grafts: And I take care a variegated sylv. brench mutation, too. It is still a young plant. Need more time to see what is it like. That will be an other topic. zs |

Pinus sylvestris 'Nisbet's Gold': A fast grower, this one has great, bright winter color. I don't think I have a picture of it on my computer though.  |

| Great stuff, Edwin. Good blue color on the last two. That 'Bexel Witch's Broom Seedling' deserves a proper name! -Sam |

| Sammy boy, thanks for your first comment about the last two pics... BUT Stop thinking STUPID about giving conifers a proper name. 'Bexel Witches' Broom Seedling' is shortened in 'Bexel W.B. Sdl.' and under this name it's spread for several years. This cultivar name is a proper name allready, all the info you need is in this cultivar name: the finder and how it arose. You are just thinking like all the other American nurseriemen who renamed a lot of plants and created a big mess which I'm trying to solve regulary!!! Please don't think like them no longer, especialy as a lot of members here see you as the new promising American conifer specialist... Thank you very much!

| Zsolti, the container garden looks great. Nice broom too! |

| Okay, Edwin. I simply took this name as a placeholder or temporary name such as witch's broom #3 or [dwarf witch's broom seedling]. In this case, Bexel must refer to the founder's name, and therefore does not need a renaming after all. Thank you for this helpful advice. -Sam |

| Dax, that's a very good idea! ;0) Rispetto, your 'Bialogon' looks a bit greenish, is it standing in much shade? |

| thanks coniferjoy will change took off tags don't how they could be that wrong. |
|
| Edwin, you're right. Next year it will have full sun.

|
| Edwin, just for clarification aren't 'Nisbet Aurea', 'Aurea Nisbet', 'Nisbet's Aurea', 'Nirbeth's Aurea' all plain right wrong or illegitimate because of the Latin nomenclature rule? I thought it is simply 'Nisbet's Gold'. This is per Mr.Fincham. |
|
- Posted by coniferjoy 10 (info@edwinsmitsconifers.com) on Fri, Jul 27, 12 at 4:41
| In fact Bob Fincham is right... This is because this cultivar was found in 1986 and it is not alowed to use Latin cultivar names after 1959. But the original name given by the founder was 'Aurea Nisbet' and can not be changed by anyone else. So 'Aurea Nisbet' it is. Al the others you mentiond are just aka's or misspellings... |

| Wow this thread is great to roll down through again. If that's taken recently Sam then my 'Gold Coin' isn't going to be a glower again compared, though otherwise healthy oddly. Super blue sylvestris Ireena, that certainly needs to become a 'known'. |

| Severn, I believe full sun is a key part of the winter coloring... Is yours in shade? -Sam |
|
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest9 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 9, 12 at 19:38
| Definitely plenty of sun Sam, check the pic of mine higher up the thread. It was pretty uniformly yellow when I bought it but now it stays more aqua blue. Maybe in time... That 'Janssen Witch' is glorious Starterdude. Thanks |

| Perhaps the acidity of your soil is too low, severn.. I'm out of ideas now. 'Green Flare' -Sam |

| Is there anything like 'Oedegard' in the US? That is a very striking tree. |
|
- Posted by coniferjoy 10 (info@edwinsmitsconifers.com) on Wed, Dec 12, 12 at 1:46
| unprofessional, I don't think so... Bob Fincham of Coenosium Gardens does have 'Candlelight' listed which is a simular plant. Maybe you can ask him. Good luck! |

| I love that 'Green Flare ' Sam! |
|

| Thanks, severn. The orange-brown buds really make a nice contrast in my opinion. -Sam |

| There are so many choice Pinus sylvestris cultivars! 'Fairy Nuff' sounds like "fair enough"... intentional? In any case, it has a nice colour and form. -Sam |
|
- Posted by bluespruce53 Dorset UK (My Page) on Mon, Dec 17, 12 at 14:19
| Yes Sam, the name was intentional, a take on 'fair enough' as you say .. |
|
- Posted by severnside UKsouthwest9 (My Page) on Mon, Dec 17, 12 at 23:15
| Damn, Sam & Blue, you're both sylvestrisizing me to bit's! I'm looking at thousands of pines and piceas from the truck as I pass in the hope of seeing WB's, walked around a huge mature mugo range in Wales and have never seen a single one. There is a big sylvestris WB on the Tiverton to Barnstable road though that I saw a couple of years back. Very prominent. |
