| Wow, is that leader 2'? You have some neat cultivars you're pulling out of the hat. Keep em' coming. I'm enjoying them and I'm sure others are as well. |
|
| Ken, that is a gorgeous Abies veitchii 'Olivaceae'. It really is putting out some quick growth eh? Very very nice. |
|
| That's extremely odd. I'm sure you'd be qualified to recognize this, but it sure looks like a rootstock that is zooming past a scion. What is the point of this cultivar? |
|
| Looks to me like a grafted side shoot that is starting to develop apical dominance - it should get more symmetrical over the next year or two. The only difference from typical Abies veitchii is that the immature cones are green, not purple. Resin |

| Yes, a botanical forma rather than a cultivated variety (cultivar, for short). Except that in this particular instance it may be that in cultivation a clone or small number of clones have been produced by grafting. Which means a de facto cultivar has been produced - a cultivar name should be raised to differentiate this stock from the rest of f. olivacea. The "aceae" ending is used for family names only, so there would never be a proper cultivar name with that ending. |

| david .... just for you .. i walked out... at night.. 27 degrees.. and a blistering wind.... its an optical delusion.... its all above the graft ... the white is under.. but being on the hill... we see some from below.. and some from the top ... creating the delusion .. lol ... as for the rest of you .. i said: that is not a secondary leader.. its just an optical illusion ... its most likely.. the first lateral.. oh so many years ago... doing something weird.. due to the hill ... both camera angle.. and weird growth .. ken |
