ASSORTED PICTURES, NO SPECIAL THEME

  Pinus resinosa 'Don Smith' is a wide-spreading selection grown from a witches'-broom.This plant is over 20 years old.  

   Picea abies 'Gold Drift' is a plant under development. Originating as a golden sport on 'Reflexa', it pushes golden new growth in the spring that holds nicely through the summer, becoming gold frosted by winter. Watch for it to become available about the year 2001.

  Picea abies 'Witches' Brood' is a light green seedling selection made by Linc Foster from a witches'-broom. It makes a dense, conical bush with finer foliage toward the base.     

   Picea orientalis 'Silver Seedling' is a compact plant with white foliage that burns in the full sun. In heavy shade the foliage is more green than white.    

   Cedrus deodara 'Silver Mist' grows into a compact, dense pyramidal bush with white foliage that does not burn in the full sun.    

   Picea abies 'Pusch' was discovered as a witches'-broom on 'Acrocona. It is a miniature 'Acrocona' in every respect right down to the small cones on the branch tips.     

   Taxodium distichum 'Secrest' was discovered at the Secrest Arboretum in Ohio. It will be much hardier than the species. It is dwarf and spreading with light green, curled foliage growing throughout the summer.   

  Pinus sylvestris 'Barrie Bergman' came to my collection from Fred Bergman of Raraflora noteriety. It is green with copius amounts of pure white variegation scattered throughout the foliage. The white lasts a good two months before burning off- an attention grabber well into summer.      

   Libocedrus decurrens 'Aureovariegata' is a green incense cedar with golden splashes throughout the foliage. It develops into a tall, narrowly conical specimen, making it perfect for unique hedging.      

   Cupressus sempervirens 'Nitschke's Needle' is a tall, dense, narrow spire. It has dark green foliage and develops attractive cones during the summer.     

   Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone' develops into a nice, dense little cone, eventually growing to about eight feet. Its foliage develops a nice hue of gold during the summer and holds the color into the winter.
