Picea Breweriana (Brewers Spruce)
Hi All,
I was at the RHS Garden at Harlow Car in Harrogate today and saw wonderful drooping pine, Picea Breweriana (Brewers Spruce). Just wondered if anyone knows where I can get one from (currently in Northumberland), would prefer local or online. Also, anyone know where I can get a Californian Redwood from? Thanks J |

Thanks J Strictly speaking a picea is`nt a pine but we all get confused about that. As lets face it we see scandanavian forests full to the brim with lovely pine trees when in fact they are mostly larch. Just teasing you in case you think I`m having a spades worth. It`s a very nice Spruce and I`ve seen a couple of excellent examples in the Bonsai world. Somewhat difficult to get hold of tho I suspect. As for the Californian Redwood, you may be able to get some seed BUT please remember that it is one hell of tree and it may not like our climate too much to really thrive. Where it usually lives it gets burnt and has adapted to that enviroment not our wet and colder enviroment. If you do manage to find the redwood tell us and I may well get one myself. |

These at Kirkby Stephen have them. http://www.weasdale.com/ Alternatively if you have the time both are easy from seed. Chiltern Seeds sell 'em. Otherwise try the Plantfinder on the RHS website.
