Taxodium d. 'Secrest'

18 years ago

First question: Does anyone have a source for this cultivar that is not grafted on standard? I'd like this plant but I don't want a lollipop. I want something that looks a bit more natural

Second question: If it's not available grafted that's not on standard, how easy would it be to root? I don't recall if Taxodium is one of those "unrootable" conifers.

thanks

Fred

Taxodium are grafted Fred.

If you want to graft one yourself I have a scionwood source, otherwise ask a nursery to graft you one for the big bucks.

Hi Fred,
I purchased a low-graft of 'Secrest' from Porterhowse Farms, but I don't believe that Don is selling via mail order any longer.

If you're a conifer society member, Stanley sells 'Secrest' as a low-graft. I have not checked availability at Stanley, however.

Dax and Mike,

Thanks for the input! I ordered a couple of low grafts from Stanley along with several Sequoiadendron varieties and other conifers through my tree care company. Not bad, either. 10 one gallon plants with air freight only $130, and my office is across the street from the airport freight terminal!

The plants may be a bit smaller than from a local source, but I like smaller plants anyway. They seem easier to establish and have less risk of root problems later on.
