Nice! Anytime a conifer is considered 'The Bluest" I am interested! This tree looks awesome, already has cones too. I've read that the cones emerge purple as well, another nice bonus!

Did you really mean the bluest conifer or did you mean the bluest parviflora?

No I mean any conifer.

Nice parv!

I don't see it being the bluest conifer? Although the silver blue underside is quite eye piercing.

Well, I don't own a pungens Edith or Hoopsii but this parviflora is exceptional. I'll say that.

Dax

Very nice plant, Dax. Quite striking.

Thanks.

Dax,

Have you seen Pinus flexilis 'Cesarini Blue' in person for comparison? I have not seen 'Cleary' in person, so I cannot compare, but I was stunned by the clear blue of 'Cesarini Blue'. Really, its been the only pine I have seen that I could say was blue, not green with a hint of blue...its hard to capture the true color, but I have included a photo for reference:

Check out Pinus sylvestris 'Bonna'. SUPER blue, but a fast and somewhat open pine that needs staking and annual candle pruning to keep and nice shape.

This is the fastest growing pine clone I've ever planted. It was about 1' when purchased and around 12' within four years. It seems to have disappeared from the nursery trade in these parts.

Are you referring to the OP or the recent post? The ACS website calls them intermediate/dwarf respectively. I've seen Cleary around here. Possibly at Gee's or a local rare plant sale.

I was referring to the 'Bonna' comment. I guess this is what happens when 7-year-old posts are brought back to life.
