Finally....here come the white "finger nails" I've been waiting for. Right now the tree kind of glows in the dark. Enjoy!

Very cool. Reminds me some of "Gentsch White" Tsuga canadensis.

Dybbuk, me thinks someone is going to have to move to the burbs with a big yard when your trees start getting large. That or find someone who can properly care for them out in the western burbs...

I am an avid customer with forestfarm.com, pendulousplants.com, colllectorsnursery.com for online shopping. Yesterday I had an act of spontaneous adventure and drove (3 hours with horrible traffic) to Rich's Foxwillow Farms. They have the largest conifer operation in the country. Unbelieveable stuff. I wandered around for hours. Even after they closed they said I was welcome to stay. They had some of the most interesting trees I've ever seen. Tons of variegated conifers. Also some very unusual contorted and weeping trees too. I was like a kid in a candy store. I bought a few things but ran out of time as they were closing. I am going back this week to dive in again. I'm a Ginkgo collector and they had some I'd never heard of: "Tit", "Ding-a-Ling" and one called "Mutant Weeper". They'll be mine next week.
