Sweet, I'd love to have that exact one!

Dax

I know I'm probably missing something but a 24" looking leader and slow growing?

I'm guessing it grows slowly horizontally but very rapidly vertically?
Would this then indicate that the plant will eventually form a tall, narrow pillar?

Nice addition, Dave. What is the pine to the right of the 'Gracilis'?

Matt

The growing habit is a dense pyramidal tree.
It's not a slow grower, but not as fast as the species or simular cultivars like 'Atrovirens' or 'Aureospicata'.

Picea orientalis 'Gracilis' growing in my Pinetum.

Additional info:
This is a very old cultivar, found before 1903 by the Van Geert Nursery in Belgium.
It was furthur propagated in the Kalmthout Arboretum near Antwerpen which is also in Belgium.

I am not sure about the strong leader growth. However being b&b it should take about 3 years to recover so growth will be slight.

It should last years where I have it.

Matt,...Pinus mugo 'Tarty'.

I am told it originates from the lower slops of the Tatry mountain range.
Tatry is the name of the Alpine mountain range which straddles the Slovak-Polish border.

Dave

So it's Pinus mugo 'Tatry' instead of 'Tarty' ;0)

"So it's Pinus mugo 'Tatry' instead of 'Tarty"?

Yes...typo ;0) I did have the location and spelling correct.

Thanks,

Dave
