I had 2 or 3 of this cultivar here in Germany, but they were not hardy enough. The same with Cunninghamia konishii " Little Leo ".

Surely, Wolfgang,
Cunninghamia konishii is more dangered like lanceolata in the continental Europe. In z6 lanceolata is also dangered to frosts till 3 meters, konishii must be minimum z7, and a dwarf much more. Plant them to the southern side of a glasshouse...

It's Mr. Leo Koelewijn who moves with his parents at an early age from Holland to Australia.
He renamed his second name in Coolwyn, not Koelwyn!
Leo several times visited my nursery when he was in Holland.

Edwin, thanks,
I guessed if no one is able to write his name correctly, it must be something behind...

Do you know of further cultivars from Mr. Coolwyn?

Szolt,
In the past Leo Coolwyn found a lightgreen form of Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' and named it 'Corona'.
I think he never brought it into the trade, maybe it reverted back to the normal one...
