'Kenosha' color is quite stunning.

Picea abies 'Clinton' and 'Ossorio' Pinus parviflora are a couple plants I'd like to add to my collection.

That Pinus sylvestris 'Heartland Memory' is the one I told you about Dax. It is a broom seedling that Randy grew from seed many years ago.

Ahh yes Dennis, I'm all about growing witches' broom seeds. Gonna do a wholesale purchase on Rootmaker cells this spring & I've already asked Jerry for pungens seeds.

Later Denny,

Dax,
thanks for this new conifer "goldmine" discovery.
I guessed by your Harper documentations, there must be hidden gems in the states. Now I'm sure.
I hope, there are Randy's selections among the many beauties, too.

The link has info on Randy's first grafted plant. I was at his place in '08 during the National ACS Meeting in Iowa. It is an enchanting place.

It would be nice to see pictures of the garden in addition to close ups of individual specimens. I'd like to see how the garden is put together. That applies to all the posts with conifers planted in gardens. Let's see the garden.

Picea rubens "Pocono" are not true, maybe a Picea glauca ??
