| Dave and Euan, The var. hondai is the northern form of the species Thujopsis dolabrata and does have a darker green foliage and doesn't have such a gracefull habit as the one at the pics. Euan, did you noticed that the upper part from your specimen is growing much stronger then the under part? Thujopsis dolabrata var. hondai |
|
| Yes it could be still in juvenile foliage.I had not thought about that. |

| Euan, is the one at Westonbirt a seedling? If so, then the underpart is still juvenile foliage indeed. The interesting thing about that if you'll take cuttings from this underpart, the juvenile foliage will remain :0) In other words, get it propagated and keep us informed! |

| Edwin Ive contacted Westonbirt they say that a lot of there |
|
| Edwin, What are your long term plans for that one before it gets to large to move it? Dave |

| Dave, my Pinetum is now under a big construction. The pic I showed is from the old situation last year. A lot of "normal" one's are removed and the more rare one's will fill up the empty spaces. The Thujopsis dol. var. hondai went to another part of my Pinetum were it can grow free and happy :0) |
