![]() ![]() ![]() The Missouri Botanical Garden lists 'Nana' as 'Glauca Nana' - and so does Monrovia. But, 'Nana' was either not present or I was getting conflicting information. ![]() I wasn't totally satisfied with the answers - because I found definitive reports around 'Glauca', 'Ogon janome', 'pygmy Yatsubusa' and more. This tag includes nana as the sport, so I started broadly with general searches on P inus parviflora and saw this identifier attached: Glauca Group. What the what? I went home and started to dig around. I whip out my phone and quickly learn that Pinus parviflora is a Japanese White Pine. When I take a closer look, I see this tag: So, imagine my surprise when one one of my trips to one of the local Home Depots near me I see a pallet of some upright conifers. I have posted about the various pines that exist in Japan and how they aren't always suitable for our Zone (black pines, white pines, etc) but that hasn't stopped me from keeping them on my radar. I've been thinking/dreaming/watching/considering a columnar pine for a while. Which brings me to the tree in this post #59 total, 38 'alive' and seventh tree of the 2021 growing season: another conifer 'of meaning'. 58 total, 37 alive, six trees for the 2021 season. Since then, I planted two Harvest Gold Hargozam crabapple trees as replacements in our Belgian Fence espalier - but I didn't include them in the 'official count'. We then added this Emperor 1 Japanese Maple - bringing total to 56 total, 35 alive. And after cleaning up the full list this Spring, I had 34 alive. That was the 55th tree planted in total since we bought the lot and the third of this year. I feel like I *did that* when I planted the Weeping Nootka Falsecypress that I bought this Spring from Wannemakers. One of the things that I had on my 2021 to-do list (#25) was to 'buy a conifer of meaning'. ![]()
