I'm trying to figure out why this isn't in the Flora of China referenced by Tony Avent in his December newsletter - unless I just missed it. http://books.google.com/books?id=rXTGyOlDjdoC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

This made me go find that newsletter on PDN's website. (http://www.plantdelights.com/November/products/967/) What's the point of the gossip about the former Director of a PHS garden? I've never appreciated his "sense of humor".
Anyhow it's not that new of a book. It came out early last year. The Dendropress Conifers Around the World book is a greater achievement for a variety of reasons.

BTW Ian it is in there, under Tsuga.

A lot of the maps there look very dubious! Some of their taxonomy (e.g. not accepting Nothotsuga as a distinct genus) is also rather off-beam.

Nice Euan - We tried grafting it this year and also cuttings, but no luck. Will try again this winter.

What do you graft it onto?

Hello Sam

Pseudotsuga menziesii

"What do you graft it onto?"
"Pseudotsuga menziesii"

Hmmm - not a good choice, only distantly related. If it survives for the next year, then take some scions from it and graft onto Keteleeria or Tsuga, or perhaps Cedrus or Abies. Maybe even this winter, with that lower left shoot.

Yes will know by spring fingers crossed.

Hi,
Where in Europe can see the Nothotsuga longibracteta - certainly in Kew Garden (I think), maybe somewhere else?
