Abstract
THPL Arnold Arboretum is continually introducing new or rare plants from all over the North Temperate Zone.Some of these are new to America; some are new to the collections in the Arnold Arboretum or have been overlooked for a period of years.It might be of interest to glance through the following listing of a very few, all of which are currently growing in the collections.Usually, it takes years before certain woody plants become common and popular, due to many varying circumstances.Some of the following list may continue to be grown in this and in other arboretums, as botanical specimens of little popular interest; however, others do have ornamental possibilities.This list is offered as an indication of what one can find in the Arnold Arboretum with a little browsing among the many collections.Abies concolor conica Phis is a dense growing, pyramidal form of Abies concolor, selected by B. 11.Slavin of the Rochester Parks, Rochester, New York, prior to 1982 when it was described as being 1 1 feet high and 8 feet broad.Plants in the Arnold Arboretum are much smaller, but being a variety of Abies concolor, it is thoroughly hardy and able to withstand city growing conditions remarkably well.It should be available in the trade by now.Our i)lants were obtained from the Bay .State Nurseries of North Abington, Mass., a few years ago.Acanthopanax henryi nana A low, dwarf variety of .Icanf/iopana.v lienrt/i we obtained from the Kornik (lardens and Arboretum in Kornik, Poland, in 1989, su[)posedly the first introduction (f this plant to the United .States.Our plant is now 86 inches high and 12 inches in diameter.Only of merit for its low and slow growth.The thorny, uprightbranches and the absence of bright flowers, fruit, and autumn color, will limit its usefulness in garden plantings.
