Perhaps someone familiar with this park will recognize these trees? The conical conifer shows a peculiar variegation of off-white to yellowish tufts of needles among (older?) green needles. With closeup photo. The second conifer is a larger tree with attractive bluish foliage. The final image is foliage from a tree described as a very small-leaved oak (immediately north of the large Quercus dentata).
Thank you. I googled C. deodara & "Dominion Brook Park". Someone had photographed this material and labelled it "possibly Cedrus deodara 'Albospicata' " Possibly Cedrus deodara 'Albospica' However, I have also found a nursery photo labelled 'Silverspring' which is identical in appearance to the Dominion Brook tree. Cedrus deodara 'Silver Spring'
That was 'Albospica', not 'Albospicata'. I wouldn't put too much stock in that for the ID - that was Lotus Johnson's photo and we were trying to guess what it was; neither of us had any idea. I also suggested yet another cultivar called 'Cream Puff'. It would help to know what's available around here. Of the three, the Vancouver Trees app only mentions 'Albospica'.
Right, Albospica. Thank you for the information. Perhaps the society caring for the garden has an inventory. I'll try to contact them.
