| Oh, I don't know. I wasn't expecting Dr. Creech to give me some at all last year when he gave me a tour around the campus showing me trees. I only went there to get some MC x BC hybrids that Dr. Creech wanted me to do a trial in Dallas, Houston and Austin, Texas area. |

| Looks like Taxodium distichum 'Peve Mineret' Exact thing that came to mind when I saw it. Eitherway, nice narrow habit. |

| It came in my mind, too but the 'Peve Minaret'-specimen I saw were more regular and compact.But similar,yes indeed. Wolfgang |

| Nice plant, Lou. I hope you keep us updated as it grows as narrow Taxodiums are of interest to me and others. tj |

| Indeed, the U.S. 'Jim's Little Guy' looks pretty simular to the Dutch 'Peve Minaret'. Some background info about the 'Peve Minaret' which was found by my good friend and nurseryman collegue Piet Vergeldt. |
