Blue Cloak Weeping Concolor Fir
Abies concolor ‘Blue Cloak’
Weeping and dwarf varieties of concolor fir have been hard for us to find, but we did it for 2009! Blue Cloak is a gracefully pendulous variety with powdery blue needles. If staked, it will slowly grow to 25 feet high and 15 feet wide. If left unstaked, the leader will grow horizontally. Grows best in sun and well-drained soil.
Spartan Juniper
Juniperus chinensis ‘Spartan’
Upright junipers are popular as fast growing accent and screening plants. Spartan is wider at the base for more efficient screening and the foliage is deep emerald green. It is drought tolerant and will thrive in poor soil and full sun. Grows 15 feet high and 8 feet wide.
Dwarf Oriental Spruce
Picea orientalis ‘Compacta’
Dwarf oriental spruce is an excellent candidate for use as an accent or visual barrier. At only 15 feet high and 8 feet wide, it combines the majestic branching and form of the bigger varieties with a more manageable size. The needles are dark green and are tightly arranged in the branches. Performs best in full sun.
Chalet Swiss Stone Pine
Pinus cembra ‘Chalet’
This tree forms a loose tear-drop shape and has soft powdery-blue needles. At only 20 feet high and 10 feet wide, it can find a home in any landscape setting including rock gardens, conifer collections, and mixed shrub and perennial beds. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil.
Graceful Grace Douglasfir
Pseudotsuga menziesii ‘Graceful Grace’
We have known about this rare weeping form of Douglasfir for several years, but until now, we haven’t been able to find any. As it matures, the tree develops a truly graceful habit as the branchlets cascade down, one over another. With staking it will reach a height of 20 feet and width of 15 feet. Plant in full sun and provide a thick layer of mulch to keep the roots cool.
