Will, this is a conifer that grows on hills and mountains in Austria and don't like wet circumstances.
It's needle color is outstanding and you can see this also in the many cultivars.

'Glauca Fastigiata' doesn't exist,
It must be written as 'Stricta'.

'Bergkonig'
Must be written as 'Bergkönig' but I don't know if your computer recognize these double dots on the o

Another thing is that the pot where the 'Bergkönig' is standing in, is to small, I think you have to pot repotted it into a bugger one ;0)

'Blue Mound' is right.
The story goes that the original one was a true mounding form and the one's that are propagated will make a leader some day...

The 'Nana' is a nice upright dwarf form which derives from Scotland.

This is how your 'Stricta' will look like in about 8 years.

Edwin, many of the plants I have in pots are temporary situations. I figure I can enjoy them there for 1-10 years and then move them into a spot that becomes available to them. `I have some 'large uprights' in 50-gallon pots and I'm quite content to leave them there for a decade or so.

Apart from copy/pasting it from the text above, US computers cannot make that double-dot above the o. Ditto with a handful of other foreign annotations - our computers are imperial systems so to speak and yours are metric(!) :)

Thanks for the info, I've made the changes to my files.

Hi Will (and all other Americans who may not know this:

we can create the umlauted-o (ö) by holding down the key while typing 0246 on the numeric keypad to the right of your keyboard.

Try it, it's fun.

The bergkönig looks cute!

Thank you for the pic of 'Matterhorn', Clement. I picked up a small one this Spring and it's nice to see large one.

Pinus cembra Jermyns

That last photo just does it for me longaeva. You've got quite the collection, going.

Looks great.

Longaeva, can you give us some info about the 'Maria Flora'?
Thanks!

Coniferjoy, it is a broom. Please, ask Jorg Kohout about it.

Dax, Pinus cembra J1, high graft,Pinus sylvestris understock

Aureovariegata is exceptional. The other's good too.
I have written my new notes about understocks in my grafting notes. Thank you very much!

Can anyone share information or a picture of Pinus cembra 'Twister'? Growth is stated as 6' x 3' in 10 years - pretty much all that I've found on it. Thanks!

Kathy

Johnson's Nursery here in Wisconsin introduced it. The ones I've seen there had just a slight twist to the needles.

Buchholz has this to say about it:

"A dense slow-growing evergreen conifer with a columnar habit. Needles are soft, silvery blue-green and display a slight twist at branch terminals. This adds a dimension of rhythm to 'Twister'. Prefers full sun in well-drained soil. 6' tall x 3' wide in 10 years. Hardy to -50 degrees. USDA zone 2."

Here is a link that might be useful: Johnson info

Thanks for the link, tj. Johnson lists 'Twister' as 25-30H x 10-18W.
