Pinus kor. 'Nana'

'Silveray'

There's a few, Dax

I like Jack Korbit. Has a slight vaiegation of yellow in it.

Here is a link that might be useful:

I wanted to bring this thread back to the top because Pinus koraiensis cultivars were recommended in a previous thread about long-needled pines as being excellent selections as well as being underused.

I, too, love the long-needled pines. I'm wondering if anyone might have anything to add to this discussion on Pinus koraiensis cultivars.

Many thanks.

A long-needled pine to me is something like P. palustris or P. ponderosa.

I my Pinetum I have the following cultivars of Pinus koraiensis:
'Blue Ball': This is a witches'broom from German origin.
'Dragon Eye': (aka 'Oculis-draconis')with yellow stripes in it's needles.
'Fastigiata': I received this narrowwer form from Czech Republick.
'Gee Broom': This is a witches'broom found by Gee Farm.
'Jack Corbit': Slightly variegated.
'Morris Blue': Good blue needled form.
'Nana': semi-dwarf form, will grow into a little tree at age.
'Shibamichi': Slow growing narrow form with nice blue needles.
'Silveray' upright form with silvery blue needles, is a Dutch selection.
'Silvergrey' upright form, needlecolour is a pale blue, is not the same as previous item.
'Spring Grove': a witches'broom found in the U.S.
'Variegata' Some needles are partly or completely yellow.
'Winton': Bush shape form, probably a cross with Pinus pumila.

I'm busy to try to add some pictures...

Gardener 365,
Is the cultivarname 'K.G.' the new name for 'Gee Broom' and what does these initials means?

I always thought that 'Silveray' and 'Glauca' are 2 names for the same plant.
The World Checklist says that 'Glauca' is an illegitimate name and is replaced by 'Silveray'.
The reason I think of this namechanging is because it's found in 1979.

Does anyone here grow P.k. 'Rowe Arboretum'? If so, I would really like to hear about its growth habits. Photos would be nice, too!

Thanks!

i have two p. kor DO ....

neither have what i would call GOOD markings.. in fact.. short of standing there and looking at it for an hour.. you would be hard pressed to see the variegation ... one is 3 foot tall.. the other is 12 feet tall ....

in zone 5 ... if that matters ..

i would want to see it.. before i bought it ...
