M. Frary's 6 year scots pine contest thread.

[M. Frary]

I told you JBP people it was coming.
I have 46 of them.
Auvignon blue Scots pine.

 

[DirkvanDreven]

One year to soon?
I don't grow them from seed. Plenty of 1-, 2- and 3 year old seedlings in our forests. They go directly into my garden in growing beds. Grow like weeds in my climate.

The things grow wild here too.
I want complete control from the get go.
Scots pine are my favorite pine. Mugo is a very close second.
Scots becaus they are budding machines.
If they grew in Japan they would be called the king of bonsai.

6 year Scots Pine competition? Yep.... I’m in.
Here’s some I germinated about 2 weeks or so ago. These are the only Scots Pine I own so we’ll see what happens, totally different to JBP so there’s plenty to learn from my end, looking forward to it!

 

[M. Frary]

Yep.... I’m in.

Excellent!
Someone to compare notes with.

Count me in as well, I have 200 seedlings started this year.

I don't know the auvignon blue cultivar though.
I do have 'norsk typ' scots, and italian varieties that are 50% smaller than their northern cousins, but when googling auvignon blue, this thread is the only result that pops up.
Care to elaborate?

Got them from scheffields. It's a cultivar that is used in the Christmas tree trade

 

[Soldano666]

Round em up

 

[Soldano666]

Count @Nwaite in too. I'll give him a few seedlings to enter with

 

[Soldano666]

@M. Frary maybe you wanna trade a few of those blues for my standard green ones? Mine are all grown from collected seeds from park trees around me. maybe they are already blue, who knows but they defo look many shades of green not blue

We could work something out.

 

[Fishtank307]

Count me in. I've got tons of seedlings growing in my backyard.

 

[MikeMurphy]

I started a few hundred scots of the "hamata" strain this spring. Have only played around with french blue and Auvergne so far. Did not like foliage and needle spacing on auvergne.

They are more commonly known as French Blue. All of my Scots are French Blue, Mike; one of the Scots you got from me is French Blue if not both of them, one of them could be Anglia, the little double trunk could be Anglia.
