Picea abies 'Gold Drift' 24W18 Norway Y1- (Bob Fincham 1990) Weeping Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 6x2ft., yellow, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed Y1 for 8.0 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2016.

American Conifer Society: In the words of legendary plantsman and ACS founder, Bob Fincham, Picea abies 'Gold Drift' is "unlike anything currently available anywhere." This selection is a golden version of Picea abies 'Reflexa' in that, typical of that cultivar, 'Gold Drift' is a strict-weeping, fast growing spruce that will grow skyward if staked while young or will ramble if left on on the ground. After 10 years, a mature specimen will be 12 to 15 feet (4 - 5 m) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide (if staked), suggesting an annual rate of growth of 12 inches (30 cm) or more.

This cultivar originated as a golden sport on a specimen of P. abies 'Inversa' found by Bob Fincham in 1990 at Coenosium Gardens, his personal arboretum and former nursery in Eatonville, Washington. Experience has proven that this plant is not ideal for all parts of the country. For example in the southeastern U.S. the sunlight lacks the intensity to bring out proper color. In the western states, on the other hand, the intensity of the sun gives it a propensity to burn when young, a tendency that decreases with age. 'Gold Drift' was one of three plants selected in 2013 for inclusion into the ACS Collectors' Conifer of the Year Program.

A weeping golden form! Pendulous branches and a drifting (upright) or weeping central leader. Can be staked to form an upright weeper, or untrained to be a cascading mound. Yellow color is more pronounced in full sun, but can burn young plants. Discovered as a sport on 'Reflexa' by Bob Fincham. (Many believe 'Reflexa' and 'Inversa' are the same plant.) ACS Collector's Choice.

Cercis canadensis 'Little Woody' 24W18 Redbud R2- (Paul Woody, NC, US) Dwarf Eastern Redbud, Mature plant size: 10x8ft., tiny, purplish, pea-like flowers, USDA Hardiness Zone 5, Michigan Bloom Month 5a-, In Garden Bed R2 for 9.8 YEARS (Duvall). Planted in 2014.

Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Little Woody’ is a dwarf, vase-shaped cultivar that typically matures to 10-12' tall and to 8-10' wide. It is distinguished by its dwarf habit, vase shape and small heart-shaped leaves. It requires no pruning to maintain its vase shape. Clusters of tiny, purplish, pea-like flowers bloom for 2-3 weeks in early spring (March-April) before the foliage emerges. Thick, rounded, ovate-cordate leaves (to 2.4" long and 2.8" wide) are dull green in summer but turn yellow in fall. Fruit/seeds are rarely produced. 'Little Woody' was selected in 2000 by Paul Woody from a mass planting of Cercis canadensis at Morganton, North Carolina. U.S. Plant Patent PP15,854 was issued on July 12, 2005.

Not much in the way of flowers in 2015 or 2016. Purchased from Propagator Andy Duvall in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

2020 note: about 7 feet tall and wide. Very little flowering in the spring like other redwoods.

Picea abies 'Argenteospica' 24W18 Norway N4- (Germany 1800s) Intermediate Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 5x3ft., Silver-Tipped , USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed N4 for 5.0 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2019.

American Conifer Society: Picea abies 'Argenteospica' is a relatively slow-growing, tree-form of Norway spruce that is virtually identical to the typical species with the exception of the spring push of fresh foliage which is bright creamy white in color that darkens to rich green later in the season. It's slightly slower growth rate is likely attributable to the few months of decreased chlorophyll each spring. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the late 1800s by Herm. A. Hesse Nursery, Weener am Ems, Germany. Ludwig Beissner formally described it in botanical literature in 1891 in Handbuch der Nadelholzkunde. In the Latin language, "argenteopica" translates into "silver spikes."

American Conifer Society: Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' is a dwarf, flattened-globose selection of Eastern arborvitae with dense, delicate, thin branches and feathery, juvenile, green-gray foliage. After 10 years a mature plant will measure 24 inches (60 cm) wide and 12 inches (30 cm) tall, an annual growth rate of around 2 inches (5 cm). Typical of this species, 'Teddy' is a very hardy plant. Please note that the thin, pliable branches tend to flop over in parts of the country where snow and ice are common in winter. It is a good choice for rock gardens and troughs, and can also be used as a substitute for a Boxwood hedge.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the 1950s by H. Pierskalla of Bad Berka, Germany. Thuja occidentalis 'Kobold' was the seed parent.

A dwarf form of Eastern Arborvitae. Leaves are feathery green-gray and juvenile. Plant grows 2-4 inches a year. Very hardy plant. Good for rock gardens and troughs, but also can be used as a substitute for a boxwood hedge. Or, it can be planted next to a gate. Greenhouse 2013, Planted out 2014. Significant color change in Winter.

Picea abies 'Argenteospica' 24W18 Norway N4- (Germany 1800s) Intermediate Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 5x3ft., Silver-Tipped , USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed N4 for 5.0 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2019.

American Conifer Society: Picea abies 'Argenteospica' is a relatively slow-growing, tree-form of Norway spruce that is virtually identical to the typical species with the exception of the spring push of fresh foliage which is bright creamy white in color that darkens to rich green later in the season. It's slightly slower growth rate is likely attributable to the few months of decreased chlorophyll each spring. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 6 feet (1.8 m) tall and 4 feet (1.2 m) wide, annual growth rate of 6 to 8 inches (15 - 20 cm).

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the late 1800s by Herm. A. Hesse Nursery, Weener am Ems, Germany. Ludwig Beissner formally described it in botanical literature in 1891 in Handbuch der Nadelholzkunde. In the Latin language, "argenteopica" translates into "silver spikes."

Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' 24W18 Arb F2- (Pierskalla of Bad Berka, Germany 1950s) Dwarf Eastern Arborvitae Arb, Size at 10 years: 1.5x1ft., feathery gray-green, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed F2 for 10.6 YEARS (6). Planted in 2013.

American Conifer Society: Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' is a dwarf, flattened-globose selection of Eastern arborvitae with dense, delicate, thin branches and feathery, juvenile, green-gray foliage. After 10 years a mature plant will measure 24 inches (60 cm) wide and 12 inches (30 cm) tall, an annual growth rate of around 2 inches (5 cm). Typical of this species, 'Teddy' is a very hardy plant. Please note that the thin, pliable branches tend to flop over in parts of the country where snow and ice are common in winter. It is a good choice for rock gardens and troughs, and can also be used as a substitute for a Boxwood hedge.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the 1950s by H. Pierskalla of Bad Berka, Germany. Thuja occidentalis 'Kobold' was the seed parent.

A dwarf form of Eastern Arborvitae. Leaves are feathery green-gray and juvenile. Plant grows 2-4 inches a year. Very hardy plant. Good for rock gardens and troughs, but also can be used as a substitute for a boxwood hedge. Or, it can be planted next to a gate. Greenhouse 2013, Planted out 2014. Significant color change in Winter.

Missouri Botanical Garden: Viburnum carlesii commonly called Koreanspice viburnum is a slow-growing, upright, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically matures to 4-5' tall but may reach a height of 8' in optimum growing conditions. Red buds open in late March/early April to pink-changing-to-white flowers which are arranged in snowball-like clusters (hemispherical cymes) to 3" across. Flowers are very fragrant. Flowers give way to non-showy, berry-like drupes which mature to blue-black in late summer. Broad ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 4" long) are infrequently flushed with copper. Foliage usually turns dull red in fall, but may sometimes display attractive shades of wine-red to burgundy.

Specific epithet honors William Richard Carles (c. 1867-1900) of the British consular service in China who collected plants in Korea.

Picea abies 'Gold Drift' 24W18 Norway Y1- (Bob Fincham 1990) Weeping Norway Spruce, Size at 10 years: 6x2ft., yellow, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed Y1 for 8.0 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2016.

American Conifer Society: In the words of legendary plantsman and ACS founder, Bob Fincham, Picea abies 'Gold Drift' is "unlike anything currently available anywhere." This selection is a golden version of Picea abies 'Reflexa' in that, typical of that cultivar, 'Gold Drift' is a strict-weeping, fast growing spruce that will grow skyward if staked while young or will ramble if left on on the ground. After 10 years, a mature specimen will be 12 to 15 feet (4 - 5 m) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide (if staked), suggesting an annual rate of growth of 12 inches (30 cm) or more.

This cultivar originated as a golden sport on a specimen of P. abies 'Inversa' found by Bob Fincham in 1990 at Coenosium Gardens, his personal arboretum and former nursery in Eatonville, Washington. Experience has proven that this plant is not ideal for all parts of the country. For example in the southeastern U.S. the sunlight lacks the intensity to bring out proper color. In the western states, on the other hand, the intensity of the sun gives it a propensity to burn when young, a tendency that decreases with age. 'Gold Drift' was one of three plants selected in 2013 for inclusion into the ACS Collectors' Conifer of the Year Program.

A weeping golden form! Pendulous branches and a drifting (upright) or weeping central leader. Can be staked to form an upright weeper, or untrained to be a cascading mound. Yellow color is more pronounced in full sun, but can burn young plants. Discovered as a sport on 'Reflexa' by Bob Fincham. (Many believe 'Reflexa' and 'Inversa' are the same plant.) ACS Collector's Choice.

Pinus nigra 'Black Prince' 24W18 Black Pine V5- (Chantry Nurseries, UK) Dwarf Austrian Black Pine, Size at 10 years: 2x3ft., dark green, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed V5 for 4.3 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2020.

American Conifer Society: Pinus nigra 'Black Prince' is a dwarf selection of Austrian black pine with a flattened-globose structure when young, later broadening and becoming somewhat pyramidal with age. Needles are dark-green and shorter and thinner than what is considered typical for this species. Its white foliar buds are particularly attractive in winter. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 1.5 feet (45 cm) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 2 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm).

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the mid-1990s by Don W. Hatch through Chantry

Nursery, Honiton, Devon, United Kingdom.

Stanley & Sons: A dwarf variety of Austrian Pine. Plant grows in a squatty ball. Leaves are a very dark green. Buds are white. Plant grows about 3 inches a year. Very tight and nice. Introduced by Don Hatch of Chantry Nurseries, Honiton,Devon in England.

Pinus nigra 'Black Prince' 24W18 Black Pine V5- (Chantry Nurseries, UK) Dwarf Austrian Black Pine, Size at 10 years: 2x3ft., dark green, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed V5 for 4.3 YEARS (Stanley). Planted in 2020.

American Conifer Society: Pinus nigra 'Black Prince' is a dwarf selection of Austrian black pine with a flattened-globose structure when young, later broadening and becoming somewhat pyramidal with age. Needles are dark-green and shorter and thinner than what is considered typical for this species. Its white foliar buds are particularly attractive in winter. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 1.5 feet (45 cm) tall and 2 feet (60 cm) wide, an annual growth rate of 2 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm).

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the mid-1990s by Don W. Hatch through Chantry

Nursery, Honiton, Devon, United Kingdom.

Stanley & Sons: A dwarf variety of Austrian Pine. Plant grows in a squatty ball. Leaves are a very dark green. Buds are white. Plant grows about 3 inches a year. Very tight and nice. Introduced by Don Hatch of Chantry Nurseries, Honiton,Devon in England.

Viburnum carlesii 24W18 Koreanspice Viburnum j2- (Korea) Koreanspice Viburnum, Mature plant size: 8x5ft., White, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW19, In Garden Bed j2 for 9.8 YEARS (Lowes,). Planted in 2014.

Missouri Botanical Garden: Viburnum carlesii commonly called Koreanspice viburnum is a slow-growing, upright, rounded, deciduous shrub which typically matures to 4-5' tall but may reach a height of 8' in optimum growing conditions. Red buds open in late March/early April to pink-changing-to-white flowers which are arranged in snowball-like clusters (hemispherical cymes) to 3" across. Flowers are very fragrant. Flowers give way to non-showy, berry-like drupes which mature to blue-black in late summer. Broad ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 4" long) are infrequently flushed with copper. Foliage usually turns dull red in fall, but may sometimes display attractive shades of wine-red to burgundy.

Specific epithet honors William Richard Carles (c. 1867-1900) of the British consular service in China who collected plants in Korea.
