Greg's Broom - "Should be 'H. Broom'. I found a total of seven brooms af the Hunnewell Arb - some now gone - two I couldn't reach with my 40' pole. I spread them around as "H." so no one would raid the place. I did show them to a few others." Greg Williams text.

"Abies nordmanniana 'KBNG WB' - not sure where this name comes from- Hunnewell W.B. - Hunnewell Broom + Abies nordmanniana Broom H are the same- I used Abies nordmanniana Broom H (was) the name I used when I shared the broom with others-" Greg Williams text

Abies nordmanniana 'KBNG W.B.' does have several synonyms like: 'Broom H', W.B. Hunnewell' and 'Hunnewell Broom' Edwin Smits text.

I believe this broom was found at the Hunnewell Estate in Mass. by Greg. He sent me scions over 20 years ago and I have offered it for sale at various times. I wouldn't be surprised if the plants in your collection can be traced back to me as the American source. Greg has explored the Hunnewell Estate in the past and knows the plants and has found a couple of fir brooms there. Bob Fincham text.

A dwarf evergreen conifer with a dense flattened-globe form. Green needles are smaller than the species. An excellent (and easy to grow) rock garden plant. Prefers full sun in well-drained soil. 12" tall x 18" wide in 10 years. Hardy to -30 degrees. USDA zone 4. Buchholz text.

The little green needles of this Nordmann fir appear on short stems and create a charming texture. The miniature to dwarf, slow-growing conifer has a bun-like shape. Growth Rate: 1-3" HxW@10yrs: 1.5'x2'. Brent Markus text.

This plant may be the same as Cedrus atlantica ‘Aurea’ or ‘Aurea Robusta’. They all appear alike. I was given scions from Kelly Leonard in Medford, Oregon who had this nice golden form of the Atlas Cedar growing in her home landscape. It seemed to grow prostrate, with skeletal branches all clothed in golden yellow foliege. In time it may grow upward and become a tree, but is quite prostrate and low spreading as a young plant.

Bill Jansen of Collector’s Nursery in Battle Ground, Wahsington introduced two variegated seedlings, this one and its sister seedling, ‘Sahara Ice’. It has new spring growth that is white and then variegated through the summer months. During the fall and winter it becomes greyish and has white only on the tips of the twigs, and branches. ‘Sahara Frost’ grows faster than the sister seedling (according to Bill),but from our observation they both grow rapidly and it will evidently become a tree. Zone 6. Howse text.

Bill Janssen of Collector’s Nursery in Battle Ground, Washington introduced two variegated seedlings. This seedling, named ‘Sahara Ice’ is said to grow much slower than its sister seedling, ‘Sahara Frost’. They both have white variegated foliage following the annual spring growth, which then becomes greyish in the fall and winter, with white terminals. It is our experience that both seedlings seem to grow to trees, neither being more dwarf than the other. This was confirmed to me by Bill Jannsen during a visit to his nursery in the Fall of 2006.

1980’s Mary Fleming NY USA

Peckerwood Gardens, Hempstead TE USA

Yucca Do Nursery of Giddings, Texas is credited with introduction of this cultivar in the early 1980s. It actually has a very interested provenance. C. harrringtonia ‘Mary Fleming’ was selected from a batch of seedlings grown in New York state by Mary Fleming, mother of Texas nurseryman, Will Fleming. Will gave the seedlings to John Fairey of Peckerwood Gardens, Hempstead, Texas for planting and evaluation. Years later, John noted that one of the seedlings was quite distinctive with under-curled needles. He and John Schoenfeld, owner of Yucca Do, decided that it was worthy of propagation, so it went into production at Yucca-do and was named for the plant’s originator.

Note that the Dawes arboretum lists ‘Yucca Do Curls’ as a synonym for this cultivar. Yucca Do denies ever using this as a provisional name. Most likely the confusion resulted from a lost plant tag. Despite it’s unique look, ‘Mary Fleming’ is a very hard plant to locate in the nursery trade. ACS text.

You gotta love 'Lemon Twist', Its unusual, kinky foliage displays zesty yellow tips, producing a striking effect against the red bark of the stems. Some of the short, twisted branch tips become cristate, eventually developing flattened, curved cockscombs that spiral back on themselves. The somewhat open, rounded form grows as wide as tall. This colorful sport of 'Tsatsumi' was selected at Bucholz & Bucholz in Gaston, Oregon. Prefers moist, well-drained soil with afternoon shade in the summer. Iseli text.

Swirling, upright fans of dark green foliage are similar to those of the irregularly globose, renowned 'Nana Gracilis', But 'Little Ann' maintains a more narrow habit, making it an excellent choice for fitting into a tighter space, such as a corner, in the garden or landscape. Iseli text.

The outstanding character of this irregular, upright Hinoki cultivar comes from a combination of foliage types. Some of it is tight sprays of congested, twisting fans that cup gracefully downward, and some of it is longer, more open shoots with red stems that reach up and out. Bronze winter tones add seasonal interest to this jolly fellow from Robin Hood's Merry Men. Iseli text.
