Just sharing one I haven't posted before. Didn't look like it was going to survive last year but has just put on 2 feet of new growth. Late but....
Sorry the pic is so large...no sure what happened....

maybe this is better....
Very fascinating cultivar. How many different ginkos do you have by now?
I think I'm up to 25 now. I can't stop. It's amazing to see all the nuances...
The leaf on 'Elmwood Upright' is interesting too. Who do you recommend as a source for unusual cultivars?
Very nice, dybbuk. And to the right in the pic is?
To the right is Larix kaempferi 'Jacobsen's Pyramid'.
HoosierGreen, as far as sources, my favorite right now is Bethlehem Nursery. He seems to be on the pulse of new and unusual. His stock is often limited so sometimes there's a wait...but worth it. Other than that, I just get 'em anywhere an oddball pops up.
Thanks. I'll check them out.
Hi, does Bethlehem Nursery have a website? They aren't listed in the Garden Watchdog. Thanks.
Here's a link....
http://www.bethlehemnursery.com/
A lot of his stuff isn't listed on his site so he usually sends me an availability list. Just ask him for one....

Todd, what is to the left of 'Elmwood Upright' in the first picture?

Elizabeth, to the left is Pinus densiflora 'Cesarni's Variegated'. It's almost all white. Here's a pic:
Wow! I had just assumed it was an extra nice P. dens. 'Oculus Draconis'. Boy, was I wrong! Quite impressive.
It is GORGEOUS!!!! I'm definitely going to add that to my "wanted" list.
Off topic, I spent the past week out in the Black Hills in South Dakota last week, just got back today. THAT was a special treat, it is just gorgeous out there. So many conifers...

Did you take any pics Elizabeth?
Yup, tons of them, hubby has them on his camera. I'll share them as soon as he uploads them and sends them to me.
Source for the Pinus densiflora 'Cesarni's Variegated'?
I got it from Stanley and Sons....
Thanks but Arrrrrrrg! Wholesale only, as you know. I'll try to see if my landscaper/nursery guy can make a connection.
Do you have 'Burke's Red Variegated'? They are very similar. And I have seen it offered in other places.
No I havn't and thank you for the tip. I'll do some searching.
Here's 'Cesarni's' vs 'Burke's Red'. From a distance they look the same, but under close inspection, 'Burke's Red' seems to have more bands of green. As you can see, the overall effect is minimal....
'Cesarni's' left, 'Burke's Red' right
Gosh, they're beautiful. And you're correct, the differences are subtle. I appreciate the comparative photo.
Thanks but Arrrrrrrg! Wholesale only, as you know.
Well now, there's a perk I obviously didn't know about. Thanks Leftwood.
