Certainly looks more like C. pisifera; can you get some close-up macro photos, just to be certain? A foliage underside shot would help too.
Sorry, don't know the answer to that! I'd guess it is the particular strain of P. ramorum in Britain; and yes, if that strain were to reach Japan,...
Thanks! Yes, Larix occidentalis grows the largest in the wild, eventually, but it is very slow-growing compared to European and Japanese Larches;...
Also check out Prunus × subhirtella 'Autumnalis'.
Geranium × oxonianum is one of those (there are many others, though).
Check out Geranium × oxonianum - it's invasive around here, very prolific.
Populus trichocarpa
Fascinating! Seems to me, they've missed the obvious answer: the wolves were watching the people using the traps, to find out how to do it...
And indeed, larch is graft-compatible with douglas-fir, I've seen it done. But I'd think not with pine, they're distant in their relationship....
Here's to hoping! But the current government has been bought by people for whom nothing but money matters, so I am very pessimistic :-((
Interesting point: try chewing a bit of one of those bark wings. I've seen the suggestion that their intense astringency combined with dry powdery...
I've never seen any discussion of it, but your observations strike me as perfectly reasonable, even predictable - the glaucous wax is a defence...
Any reason to believe they are any named cultivar at all? The growth, in particular the short internodes, could well be due to being so cruelly...
Possibly the potential with future climate change, but unlikely. It will be BC's cooler coastal, and drier interior, summers that prevent it...
Thanks! Can you get a similar pic from a little further down the shoot of one of the side shoots, between the needles, rather than of the bud? Try...
