| Just want to see if I understand what I am seeing.
These photos are from 11/14 so understand I am in no sense of panic. Could this four foot tall Thuja be producing cones already?
Edited with Photobucket (Editor on my phone is better!)
Thanks guys. |

| All looks normal. Being grafted they can cone much earlier than a seedling would. tj |

| Thanks tsuga. The little fella is impressing me greatly. Was attacked by a deer who gave it a poodle like pruning job a few years ago, is growing nicely in a damp enough spot to kill other evergreens, AND it still looks very healthy. |

| Tommy, Thuja occ. 'Sunkist' will always be propagated by cuttings... |
|
| Yep, cones after maturity. Thuja occidentalis produces cones young anyway, regardless of whether seed or cutting grown. Resin |

| Pick some anyway and put in a bag and shake them. I'll bet there are seeds still to be had. Dax |

| Here is a picture of a Sunkist that I found growing at Hidden Lake,MI. Most of the catalogs that I read said that it only grows between six and nine feet high. I guess this one can't read. Frank

| That is a beautiful looking tree. I love the bright gold. Makes it so striking. |
