2011 New additions gallery

15 years ago

It's nearly Spring here and it's just around the corner for most folks up North as well. This year I've toned down my new plant purchases because I am both out of space and broke. I have just one large area left to plant and a handful of small areas to fill. Here are some plants that I've planted in the cold or plants that I am excited about planting very soon!

Pinus aristata 'Silver Day'

{{gwi:666188}}

Pinus parviflora 'Gyoko Sho Hime'

{{gwi:666190}}

Picea omorika 'de Ruyter'

{{gwi:666192}}

Pinus thunbergii 'Aocha Matsu'

{{gwi:662076}}

Pinus parviflora 'Blue Dwarf' - name perhaps illegitimate.

{{gwi:666194}}

Pinus parviflora 'Fukai'

{{gwi:666197}}

Picea obovata 'Glauca' - Siberian spruce.

{{gwi:666199}}

Feel free to share any plants you're excited about getting into the dirt soon.

Aaaaahhhhh......recycling space. That's where I'm at as well. My last tree went into a patio pot.....it's sad to be restricted.

Hi WIll,

Out of money...maybe that's good or not so good. Let's hope it only applies to buying conifers.

Out of space...for sure.

Sometime I would like to see a list of all the conifers you have growing at your house.

Other then that ...nice selection of new plants you have there.

I have a 6 ft. Picea omorika 'de Ruyter' coming from Iseli. It should be here in a week ...give or take. All and all I am adding 16 new cultivars. Some from Bob and the rest (larger specimens) from Iseli.

I too like the Picea omorika 'de Ruyter'. It's very sculptural.

Dave you must not be too out of space if you're adding 16 more.....

Mark,

I don't want side track Will's thread so I will make it brief.

I am removing a 40' Sweet Gum for obvious reasons. That in turn makes room for two more small beds.

Love my latest aquisition, just hunting down the best placement, guessing like 'Graceful Grace' and 'Glauca Pendula' it won't like too much wind exposure. Also on a steep hillside it's easy to lose the form and colour against the background view, so I'm considering the best foil.

Pseudotsuga menziesii 'Knaphill'

Those parvifloras catch my attention every time!

Great pics, Will! By the way, will you be starting a Cryptomeria 2011 Thread?
I haven't seen one yet, but I didn't want to start a duplicate Thread if so...

I'm sorry to mention this but I saw this error several times at this topic:
It's Picea omorika 'De Ruyter' instead of 'de Ruyter'...

Severnside, I like the Pseudotsuga menzesii 'Knaphill' very much, it does have a special blue colour!

No problem Edwin, thank you for your patience and your constant help fixing errors. This plant I haven't made a tag for yet so this is doubly beneficial. I'm not just placating you either, it really helps.

Josh, I'm making a new thread to discuss what people wanted to do for photo galleries this year. Hopefully we can come to a good, majority opinion that all can use and contribute to.

Thanks Conifer, the lighting is actually pretty generous with the blue in that pic it's more a blue/grey to the general look. But I'm hoping it will colour up to that potential being freshly released into the soil from a pot today.

I know very little about this cultivar and have seen no other pictures of it. The label said 'compact' but that's debatable and so it's a blind but certainly regret free buy really.
