Picea orientalis 'Skylands (Aurea
Compacta)' Oriental Spruce
Sciadopitys verticillata
'Wintergreen' Umbrella Pine
Dwarf and choice! The golden form of the Oriental
Spruce came from Skyland Farms in NJ. Sold for
many years under the name 'Aurea Compacta', it's
slower growing and more compact than the species
with short golden-yellow tinged needles. Broadly
upright in form, it should reach about 5' in 10 years,
growing 3-6" a year. Zones 5-7. H: 5-6 ft · W: 4-5 ft
Dr Sidney Waxman, CT. The unique needles of
Sciadopitys resemble a pine but are much thicker
and glossy. 'Wintergreen' was selected for its dark
green winter color and well-branched habit. Best in
rich soil with adequate moisture. Growth habit is
conical and relatively slow, especially when young,
but growth rate increase with age. Magnificent!

Taxus baccata 'Repandens'
Spreading English Yew
An exceptionally handsome conifer for sun or shade.
Arching branches of dark green needles and the
spreading habit makes it ideal as a large
groundcover or low hedge. Like other yews, it takes
pruning well, even into old wood, but the graceful
form develops best when left unpruned and given
room to spread. Zones 6-8. H: 4-6 ft · W: 6-8 ft

Customer Quotes
“I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how
pleased I am with my Echinacea ‘Raspberry Truffle.’
The plants (four in all) established themselves beautifully in my yard this past summer, and about two
weeks ago started to “rebloom”! It’s so nice to see
flowers this late in the season (from a perennial, no
less) when most plants have ceased to bloom!”

They are superior to all others we have seen. We discard
the aluminum wires that come with them and instead use
plastic coated bell wire from the hardware store. Use an
8-10" piece, attach one end to the label and make a large
sliding “lasso” at the other end around the branch to avoid
girdling. You can also attach them to a pipe or stake with
a hole drilled in the end.
With your plant order, the price is $20 per box of 100;
