Very much so Stephen. Mine has put on about 1" and a half this year. Will post pic tomorrow.

Another in the ground.

Maybe not so dwarf, he make a good leader in the ground.

You should have named it Picea orientalis 'Hen's Teeth' ;0)

Why's that then severnside ? :o)

That's how you described the scarcity of P.o 'Reynolds' and this is rarer still. I just think it would make a great name for a plant.

Where does 'Smee' originate from ?

I did indeed severnside .. 'Reynolds no. 1' to be precise, because there is a 'Reynolds no 2' ... I originally called it Smee's Gold from the character in Peter Pan because when i saw the the spring flush for the first time, I thought it looked rather goldish in colour

I don't know which 'Reynolds' I have, just bought as such which means, as Paul Daniels would say 'Not a lot'.

Was this WB on a mature species?

Yes, a witches' broom on a mature species, was just hanging under the canopy of the parent tree.
You'll soon know what 'Reynolds you have ..No.1 grows about 3cms per year,and isn't commercially available as far as I know, and No. 2 is around 15cms or more ...

Well it looks more like 15cm and certainly not 3cm so probably No.2, if at all.

I'll see what the first new growth season produces.

Good find, I doubt there are many orientalis WBs just asking to discovered like that.

As promised. Growing well,looking forward to getting bigger
