Juniperus squamata 'Holger' 22W51 Singleseed Juniper R3- (Holger Jensen, Sweden 1946) Singleseed Juniper, Size at 10 years: 2x4ft., yellow tipped new growth maturing to blueish green, USDA Hardiness Zone 4-7, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed R3 for 4.3 YEARS (Lowes,). Planted in 2018.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Holger' is a compact, densely-branched, spreading shrub that typically grows to 1-3' tall and 3-4' wide, but in some conditions may eventually reach 5' by 5' after 10 years. It is noted for its yellow new growth that creates an attractive bicolor foliage effect in spring. New foliage emerges yellow-tipped, eventually maturing to blue-green by summer.
Juniperus squamata is commonly called singleseed juniper because the seed cone contains only one seed. It is native to mountainous areas from Afghanistan to Taiwan. Dwarf, 1-6 inches per year.
American Conifer Society: Juniperus squamata 'Holger' is a moderate-to-large, spreading selection of Scaly juniper that retains a flat top of 3 to 5 feet (1 - 1.5 m) tall and grows as wide. Fresh new growth in spring is sulfur-yellow, gradually turning silver Blue. With moderate care its first year in the ground, it will establish a good root system that will nourish a care-free specimen plant that can withstand drought and wind. It is striking in winter when its strong branches can support a considerable snow load.
Juniperus squamata 'Holger' is believed to be a hybrid of Juniperus squamata and Juniperus × pfitzeriana 'Pfitzeriana Aurea'. The cultivar originated as a seedling selected in 1946 by Holger Jensen of Ramloesa Nursery, Helsingborg, Sweden.
I have staked this specimen in 2019. Time will tell.

Blue Limber Pine AKA Rocky Mountain White Pine. A narrow blue form of Limber pine. Very long powder blue needles on a very narrow plant. Plant named after Joe Cesarini of Maryland. Common name of limber pine is in reference to the flexible branchlets. Planted 2009, not doing well. But, it is still alive.

Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Midget' 22W51 Arb Y1- (Fairview Nurseries, PA 1942) Dwarf American or Eastern Arborvitae Arb, Size at 10 years: 3x3ft., Blue-green foliage, USDA Hardiness Zone 2, Michigan Bloom Month 7-9, In Garden Bed Y1 for 25.7 YEARS (1). Planted in 1997.
North Carolina State University: Hetz Midget Arborvitae is a dwarf evergreen conifer in the cypress family. The form is globose and slowly reaches 3-4 feet tall and slightly wider. The scale-like foliage is arranged in dense flat layered sprays.
It is widely adaptable to soil types and is drought and alkaline soil tolerant. The naturally round form makes it ideal for foundation plantings. It can also be used as a specimen, in containers or a mixed hedge planting. Tolerant of urban conditions. Deer will browse this plant.

American Conifer Society: Pinus uncinata, as described in 1805 by Louis-Florent-Marcel Raymond (1915–1972), ex Alphonse Louis Pierre Pyramus de Candolle (1806 - 1893), in Flore Française. Troisième Édition, by Jean Baptiste Antoine Pierre de Monnet de Lamarck, and Alphonse Louis Pierre Pyramus de Candolle, is commonly known as Swiss mountain pine, or mountain pine; as well as pin à crochets in the French language; and pino negro in Spanish. The species name, uncinata ("hooked point") refers to the pronounced prickle present on the seed cones.
Many authors consider this pine to be a subspecies of Pinus mugo, i.e. P. mugo subsp. uncinata.
Closely related to Mugho Pines. Limited info. on Zelenac ~6.5in, Feb 2019.

Iseli Nursery: Picea abies ‘Hildburghausen’ is globe shaped for many years, but eventually becomes wider than tall. Short, very dark green needles are closely spaced on short stiff shoots creating a tight compact appearance. This symmetrical gem works well in the rock garden or the small landscape where it will stay in scale with miniature and other slow growing plants.
Miniature, perfectly shaped globe variety of Norway Spruce. Leaves very small and light green. Plant grows one inch a year. Terminal shoots grows the same length every year. First listed by G. Bohme, Germany about 1990. Planted in greenhouse 2016. Moved to garden in 2018.

Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Cesarini Blue' is an upright, compact cultivar that features the bluest needles found on any of the P. flexilis selections. Needles are commonly described as being powdery blue. This is a narrow pyramidal tree that typically grows very slowly to only 6-7' tall and to 3' wide over the first 10 years, eventually rising over time to as much as 20-25' tall.
Blue Limber Pine AKA Rocky Mountain White Pine. A narrow blue form of Limber pine. Very long powder blue needles on a very narrow plant. Plant named after Joe Cesarini of Maryland. Common name of limber pine is in reference to the flexible branchlets. Planted 2009, not doing well. But, it is still alive.
