All these years living in the Jack pines and this is the first I've heard of a cultivar of this species (Pinus banksiana 'Roshana' pg 24).

Beautiful collection!

Thanks for posting.

There are quite a few banksiana cultivars.

It was a joke.

What an interesting garden. The gardener has certainly figured out the puzzle of fitting (and keeping) conifers into a small lot. It would be a treat to see it up close.

Ah, the lowly Jack Pine. It is often seen as a scrub tree, and on the worst of soils it can look...unkempt. On the other hand, Setophaga kirtlandii would beg to differ and finds it quite attractive.

We're lucky if we see an occasional Piranga olivacea during the summer months. The most plentiful birds here in the winter are Poecile atricapillus, Cyanocitta cristata and Pheucticus ludovicianus among other less numerous.

Question: 160.0 Tsuga canadensis Tiny Leaf Upright .... is that the species Hemlock? I can't find the cultivar by that name...

Mr. Vrablic has been collecting for 25 or so years and seems to be well connected in the conifer collecting community, so I suspect he's had access to some cultivars that might not have made it to market. I saw a few that I had to look up online and found diddly squat.

Thanks! I wondered if it was something like that.

Amazing collection all the same. :-)

Amazing. He's got Mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) growing....

I've tried that one multiple times without sucess

Thanks! I've started a wish list.

Lovely pic, Mike.
