Pinus mugo 'Carl Fricard' near the drive. I forgot about this guy the last time I posted.

Picea pungens 'MPH Mamut Torony' sun behind
(Fagus x moesiaca x F.sylvatica 'Atropurpurea') 'Prince of Darkness' My good friend Guy Sternberg is the breeder of this beech. It contains the hardiness of Asian beech x European beech. Spring is deep purple as well as into mid-summer then it reverts green. Plant is upright and twisting & pendulous:
Picea abies 'Golden Beskid'
Picea engelmanniii 'Warrior'
Abies concolor 'Bedon' - like 'Winter Gold' but better I was told.

| Thanks severside, I appreciate the compliment. I'm a serious collector, indeed. Been at this going on 11 years. Started as a spectator. Dax |

| I just love the images you folks share. Thank you for posting! :) It makes me wish I had a larger yard. 1/4th an acre just isn't large enough! I cannot wait till we move to the farm, then I'll have acres and acres to play with. :D Once hubby retires from the military in 8 yrs I'll be able to dive right in! ~Tina |

| I plan on sipping a drink with you in the shade of 'MPH Mamut Torony' in about 30 years. Look forward to getting your way soon Keith |

| You've got my excited Dax! Love the engelmannii. Like Tiny, I wish I had more space, not much mind you because 10 acres or something would be so hard to maintain, but like a half acre more, I would be thrilled. I look forward to some plant exchanges. I gathered the cone flower 'Hot Pupaya' and a handful of others, bagged 'em up and should have that, those two golden seedlings and my collection DVD headed out Monday. -Will |
