The fastigiate pungens is excellent! Also like Sensei and Wansdyke Silver.

...thought it would be good to mention that the color of the seedling-pungens is actually cobalt blue... it's a very strong blue similar in color to Picea pungens Rifle Blue.

Dax, how did you become this P. pungens seedling, from a seedbed or find in the wild?
Are it's parents also (semi-)fastigiate?
The colour from your seedling looks not as blue as from the P. pungens 'Rifle Blue', it looks more of a greenish blue...

Hi Tunilla, thanks!

Hi Edwin, that seedling was just a random seedling I bought in bulk. It is Cobalt blue. The light at that time of night plays tricks with my camera. Also, for example, Chief Joseph is gold... looks like it's muted-gold or ugly-gold... not the case.

Thanks,

Dax

Your Abies nordmanniana "Trautmann" are probably not Abies nordmanniana ! It's not a good buds.

You gotta be kidding me. I have seen the "same" tree but much older at Rich Eyre's nursery and, his tree looks no different from mine. I'll have to go look at it. Thanks Clement.

Edwin, you are so right! This seedling is green and it is slightly-glacous. The glaucous is noticable. It is a nice green color at any rate. I have another seedling I like a lot and evidently I confused the two in my mind. ...These photos I shot this morning as the sun was finally strong.
