Picea orientalis 'Spring Frost' 22W49 Oriental N4- (Stanley, OR) Oriental Spruce, Size at 10 years: 6x4ft., lemon-yellow new growth, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed N4 for 3.6 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2019.

American Conifer Society: Picea orientalis 'Spring Frost' is a broad-upright growing selection of Oriental spruce which, in the spring, will flush with lemon yellow new foliage that matures to dark green by summer. The plant does not appear to be affected by full sun. After 10 years of growth, a specimen will be considered to be mature at 6 feet (2 m) tall and 4 feet (60 cm) wide.

The origin of the cultivar is unknown at this time, but appears to have been introduced to the nursery trade by Larry Stanley & Sons nursery, Boring, Oregon.

Stanley & Sons Nursery: A dwarf, upright Oriental Spruce that has lemon-yellow new growth in spring. Leaves turn back to a rich green with no burn. Only grows about 4-6 inches a year.

American Conifer Society: Quote from Coenosium Gardens "This selection has an exceptionally bright gold winter color and distinctively long needles. Its mature shape is much lower and denser than a typical v. pumilio. Conifers The Illustrated Encyclopedia states "A compact shrub to 80 cm tall, with yellow needles in winter, less so in summer."

Picea abies 'Vermont Gold' 22W49 Norway J4- (Greg Williams, VT 1990s) Prostrate Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 6in.x4ft., golden, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed J4 for 3.6 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2019.

American Conifer Society: Picea abies 'Vermont Gold' is a broadly spreading, slow-growing selection of Norway spruce with layered branches and golden-yellow foliage that looks its best when given 3 to 4 hours of morning sun. If grown in shade, plants will appears greenish yellow and if grown in full sun young plants will burn badly.

After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 2 feet (60 cm) tall and 4 feet (1.3 m) wide, an annual growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 - 15 cm).

This cultivar originated as a golden branch sport found on a specimen of P. abies 'Repens' in the mid-1990s by Greg Williams of Kate Brook Nursery, Wolcott, Vermont, USA. It was first listed under the illegitimate name, 'Repens Aurea' and later changed. Another illegitimate synonym is 'Repens Gold.'

Stanley & Sons Nursery: A prostrate, golden form of Norway Spruce. Leaves solid gold and normal size. Plant completely prostrate. Old name of cultivar is `Picea abies `Repens Aurea'. Grows 4 to 6 inches a year. Found and introduced by Greg Williams.

Abies fraseri 'Reeseville' 22W49 Fraser Fir J4- (John Van Ert of Reedsburg, WI 1990s) Intermediate Fraser Fir, Size at 10 years: 8x2ft., dark green needles, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed J4 for 4.2 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2018.

American Conifer Society Abies fraseri 'Reeseville' is a narrow, upright selection of Fraser fir with fastigiate branching and species-typical blue foliage. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 feet (2 m) tall and 1.5 feet (45 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the early 1990s by John Van Ert of Reedsburg, Wisconsin at his namesake nursery. The seedling batch from which the selection came from Berkey's Nursery, Spartansburg, Pennsylvania.

How this plant gained the name 'Reesville' is a curious story. Shortly after John Van Ert selected this special narrow conifer, he asked a friend, Darrell Kromm, a fellow nurseryman at Reeseville Ridge Nursery, Reeseville, Wisconsin, if he knew of any arboretums what might be interested in receiving plants and preserving them in a significant collection. Darrell recommended Rich Larson and Dawes Arboretum, Newark, Ohio where at least one of the original plants still lives today. Somehow any mention of Van Ert Nursery became lost and the plant ended up named in honor of Reeseville Ridge Nursery, who, ironically never even propagated it.

The American Conifer Society confirmed that 'Reeseville' is the cultivar name originally given and other cultivar names seen in the nursery trade, such as 'Reeseville Selection' and 'Reeseville Ridge' are used in error.

Stanley and Sons Nursery: A columnar variety of Fraser Fir. Leaves species color and plant growing upward about 8-12 inches a year. Very narrow.

Planted in 2018. Also planted one in 2014 which died in 2016.
