r/conifers

Picked up this pretty three-part pot a while back. Put together different combos at the nursery and eventually settled on all bluish conifers. I think the slight differences in color look super cool.

From top to bottom:

* Cedrus atlantica, Sapphire Nymph
* Picea pungens, Glauca Globosa
* Juniperus horizontalis, Icee Blue

What was interesting is that I looked up plenty of trees on the nursery’s website beforehand and had completely different favorites in mind before I got there. Once I was there, this combo came together quite nicely.

I planted these last spring. The cedar and the spruce showed some minor stress from the repotting a couple of days in, but they’re all thriving now.

I assume I’ll have to repot the spruce at some point, but for now I’m really enjoying this little blue combo.

(I live in Europe, zone 8a, and exclusively have conifers, all of them kept in pots.)

Does anyone have any good literature about the care and/or care schedule for Bosnian pine. I enjoy unique things that are also a small challenge which this pine covers as well as seemingly being a great specimen that shouldn’t be too much work to get into something nice within a few years. A very rigid 2 needle pine that I could style similarly to a black pine or even mugo, but just with a larger shape due to its longer foliage. Cannot tell if grafted or not - either way trunk looks great.

Ryan Neil has great general pine lectures but I’m hoping to find something or someone that can help in this specific topic.

If it’s a stupid idea, I may consider returning the tree but I love the way it looks.

Thanks in advance for anyone who has any guidance.

Dad put it indoors for a while until it starts browning slightly, i scratched the bark and it's still green inside. Where should i put it now?
