Picea pungens 'The Blues'
Grows at a 45 degree angle so will be upright but it's gotta turn into a rambling thing too.

P.s. I definitely recommend 'Linda's Mad Dancer'

Thanks, Dax!

Great information + photos!

Can you tell me where I might obtain Picea pungens 'Linda's Mad Dancer'?

Also, can someone tell me the difference between Picea abies 'Frohberg' and Picea abies 'Formanek'?

Thanks!

PlantMarker

Probably sold somewhere as Chub Harper who provided the collection often sends scions from his collections to friends in the conifer grafting trade. Otherwise I could be persuaded to graft you one this winter.

Hi G 365 and plantmarker.Great pictures of fantastic mature plants in an apparently wonderful setting.Thanks for that theme-series; most useful. T.

Hi plantmaker,

'Formanek' is aradically prostrate, slow-growing form of Norway Spruce it
will become a densely matted, spreading carpet over time If
staked up, its strongly weeping branches cascade down and create
a pendulous form. Unstaked, it is the perfect plant to creep
over and around rocks. This form I have has been staked for a little height.

ÂFrohburg Which I don't have is narrower form of Weeping Norway Spruce offers a strictly
pendulous habit with a full, spreading skirt and a slower growth
rate A finer texture is the result of shorter, slender, medium green
needles Use this choice selection for landscapes with limited space.

Iseli has a nice photo.

Here is a link that might be useful: Picea a 'Frohburg'

I think Picea pungens 'Linda's Mad Dancer' is the best. Searched google and didn't find any info or any available for sale. So, only friends of Chub Harper have it?
Thanks,
Larry

I'm confused now. Dave's description of Picea abies 'Frohberg' doeesn't seem to match Dax's photo of it. Perhaps the "narrow form" only is apparent when it's staked? (Maybe I'm having a "duh" moment?)

Dax, where did you get you P.a. 'Frohberg', if I may ask? Also, very intrigued by how to persuade you for a P.p. 'Linda's Mad Dancer' graft!

PlantMarker

You guys I just thought of somebody who probably is selling 'Linda's Mad Dancer' as well as other plants from the conifer collection at Bickelhaupt Arboretum .. where my photo is from.
