The orientalis holds some of my favorite cultivars. Once again, here are a few that some of you may not have seen.

-Dave

Picea orientalis 'Bergman's Gem' -- a nice vase-shaped nest spruce.

Picea orientalis 'Losely'

Picea orientalis 'Fern Creek Prostrate' -- I've never seen a big one, so I have no idea what this one's going to be when it grows up.

Picea orientalis 'Mt Vernon' -- one of the little guys.

Picea orientalis 'Spring Grove'

Finally, a nice combination: Picea orientalis 'Professor Langner' toward the front and 'Tom Thumb' to the rear. I still prefer to call it 'Tom Thumb Gold.'

Glad you're enjoying them Alexa and Jaro. Should do a hosta for conifer Swap Alexa, I'm sure we both have extras. :)

A handful more photos today:

Picea orientalis 'Iseli Seedling'. Could be 'Skylands Seedling'. One of my favorite oriental spruce, it's super bright gold in a half-day sun setting.

'Daureas'. Lots of sun and still bright gold. It's been gold here for about 8 weeks but this is the strongest gold I've seen.

'Tom Thumb Gold'. Just enough shade from that pine.

orientalis 'Daurues' has already lost its spring yellow.

Picea orientalis 'Nutans'. With significant character. Seems happy growing sideways. Probably have to stake it to keep it from tipping.

'Conneticut Turnpike'. A medium dwarf.

'Early Gold'. One of the many gold-pushing oriental spruce. I'm trying to log time-based photos of all them to determine if any have better/more interesting characteristics. This one is in part shade.

'Pendula'? Sold to me as 'Glauca Pendula'. Not too glauca lol.

'Nana Compacta'

'Spring Frost'. Also in a little shade.

'Silver Seedling'. LOTS of shade, still a nice color.

Will, I like the 'Nutans' and the 'Spring Frost' very much, I still don't have these in my collection.

'Aurea Spicata' must be writte as 'Aureospicata'.
