    Cheers guys, always appreciated:
    #5 Picea orientalis 'Prof Langner'
    #6 unnamed witches' broom from Abies nordmanniana
    #7 Picea omorika 'Schneverdingen'
    #8 Abies koreana 'Variegata'
    Ken, the 'Little Marky' is normal growth and not a reversion...as far as I know, never seen another one to compare, but pretty sure it makes an extremely slow growing cone shaped plant.

    Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Lime Cross Seedling #1'

    Metasequoia glyptostoboides 'Hamlet's Broom' - a new one to me!

    Picea glauca 'Tiny' - shown a few times before

    From right to left - Pinus strobus 'Verkade's Broom, Pinus sylvestris 'Danbe WB', Picea glauca 'Ed Hurle' or is it 'Ed Hirle' ?

    Hi Stephen, your garden is more beautiful then ever!
    It's a shame that this kind of gardening isn't populair in the U.K.

    Can you tell me something more about that unnamed Abies nordmanniana broom?
    It looks to me like W.B. D.D.'...

    The true cultivar name for the variegated Abies koreana is 'Gelbbunt' which is German for "yellow variegated'.

    Hi Stephen,

    beautiful, healthy plants. Wonderful garden.

    Is there a possibility to propagate Sequoiadendron gig. Lime Cross Seedling Nr.1 the next years ?? Jonathan has no more plants.

    Thanks

    Edwin - The nordmanniana broom is from the UK, reasonably local too, material was given by a customer to John Skinner of Barthelemy & Co Nursery, Wimborne, Dorset. John successfully grafted a few, sent one back to the customer, and gave me one. Problem is he has no record of who that customer was anymore. So it's remained unnamed ever since.
    Ken - The replanting started about 2 years ago, and is concentrated on the larger island beds, two already done,a smaller one in progress, and a larger one still to do.
    Wolfgang - I have no planes to propagate the 'Lime Cross seedling #1 in the near future, if you require a little material this winter ,no problem.







    Picea pungens 'Hermann Naue'

    Abies koreana 'Tundra'

    Picea abies 'Oldenburg'

    Thanks so much, Stephen!

    If there are good understocks maybe Edwin or Henk will do this. They have the most experience.
