Tänä viikonloppuna olen surffaillut netissä katsellen kasviaiheisia sivuja. Haluan nyt tuoda esiin erään Yhdysvaltain Illinoisissa olevan taimiston sivut; Rich's Foxwillow Pines Nursery. Tämä taimisto on erikoistunut havupuihin ja -pensaisiin ja erityisesti niiden erikoisiin viljelylajikkeisiin. Monet niistä lajikkeista ovat sellaisia, joita ei ole täällä Suomessa... Vielä! Eli Suomen taimistoviljelijät huomio; tässä on paljon kokeiltavaksi suositeltavia lajikkeita, joita Suomen puisto- ja puutarhakulttuuriin tulee saada lisää niin julkisille alueille kuin myyntiin yksityisille puutarhoille. Monet näistä lajikkeista sopivat nimittäin erittäin pienillekin puutarhoille.
Kävin nämä taimiston listat läpi ja esittelen nyt tässä omia suosikkejani (joista on kuvat; lisää lajikkeita on tekstilistassa), joiden etenkin toivon yleistyvän tai otettavan käyttöön Suomessa. Tässä vaiheessa tähdennän myös sitä, että tulevaisuuden tämän talven tapaisissa lumettomissa olosuhteissa esim. tällaiset havulajikkeet ovat kasvutapojensa, tekstuuriensa ja väriensä takia tarpeellisia maiseman piristäjiä. Niitä tulisi siis käyttää runsaasti ja kekseliäästi; mieluummin ryhmittäin ornamentillisesti sommiteltuna joko keskenään tai lehtipuiden ja -pensaiden kanssa. Monet näistä lajikkeista ovat myös erinomaisen hyviä ja näyttäviä yksittäispuina - yksittäispensaina. Valikoima on hyvin runsas ja vain mielikuvitus on rajana niitä käytettäessä.
Tässä omia suosikkejani (katsokaa myös muita listoissa olevia, kuten lehtipuita): harmaapihtalajikkeita; Abies concolor "Candicans", Abies concolor "Compacta", Abies concolor "Kinky", koreanpihtalajike; Abies koreana "Silberlocke", lännenpihtalajikkeita; Abies lasiocarpa "Arizonica Compacta", kaukasianpihta; Abies nordmanniana, espanjanpihta; Abies pinsapo "Aurea".

Jotkin näistä ovat jo ennestään tuttuja täälläkin, mutta monet täysin tuntemattomia. Osa on myös enemmän tai vähemmän talvenarkoja, mutta ilmastonmuutoksen takia niiden kokeiluun on rohkeasti ryhdyttävä ja sitä on jatkettava. Vanhastaan noista mainituista on pidetty arkoina etelärannikollakin ainakin; kaukasianpihtaa, nutkansypressiä, kiinanpunapuuta, kultalehtikuusta, kiinanpähkinämäntyä, japaninmäntyä, mustamäntyä, neidonmäntyä ja kyynelmäntyä.
Lopuksi muistutan taas siitä, että ilmastonmuutoksen edetessä kasvien uudenlaiseen ja monipuoliseen käyttöön on kiinnitettävä suurta huomiota. Vain vanhassa pitäytyminen on sekä välinpitämättömyyttä muuttuvia olosuhteita kohtaan että muutoksen tuomien mahdollisuuksien hukkaamista. Tällaiset havukasvit ovat yksi osa uuden ajan kasvienkäyttöä. Saatan ottaa jatkossa lisää tällaisia kasviesittelyjä esille internetistä, koska oma kasvivalokuvausprojektini ei sisällä tämän tyyppisiä Suomessa tuntemattomia lajeja ja lajikkeita.
This weekend I have been surfing the internet, as watching plant related pages. I want now to bring out the pages of one nursery situated in Illinois USA; Rich's Foxwillow Pines Nursery. This nursery has specialized itself to coniferous trees and shrubs and especially to their peculiar cultivars. Many of those are such cultivars, which aren't existing here in Finland... Yet! So, attention Finland's nursery men and women; Here are recommended for trying out a lot of cultivars, which must be included more into Finland's park and garden culture, both for public places and into sale for private gardens. You see, many of these are suitable for very small gardens as well.
I went through these lists of the nursery and I show you now here my own favourites (which have photos; there are more cultivars on the text list), which I especially wish to be more common or to be taken into use in Finland. At this phase I point out also the fact, that in snowless winter conditions of the future like this one, for example these kinds of conifer cultivars are necessary refreshments of the environment due to their habits, textures and colours. So, they should be used a lot and inventively; rather to be fitted together in groups in an ornamantal way either with each other or with broadleave trees and shrubs. Many of these cultivars are also excellently good and showy as single tree - shrub specimens. The selection is very profuse and only imagination will be as a limit when using them.
Here are my own favourites (check also others on the lists, like broadleave trees): White Fir cultivars; Abies concolor "Candicans", Abies concolor "Compacta", Abies concolor "Kinky", a Korean Fir cultivar; Abies koreana "Silberlocke", Subalpine Fir cultivars; Abies lasiocarpa "Arizonica Compacta", Nordmann Fir; Abies nordmanniana, a Spanish Fir cultivar; Abies pinsapo "Aurea".

Some of these have been familiar here (in Finland) before as well, but many are completely unknown. A part of them are also more or less winter sensitive, but due to the climate change, trying them out must be undertaken bravely and that must be continued. Previously from those mentioned winter sensitive ones have been considered to be even by the southern coast (in Finland) at least the following; Nordmann Fir, Nootka Falcecypress, Dawn Redwood, Golden-larch, Lacebark Pine, Japanese Red Pine, European Black Pine, Japanese White Pine and Himalayan Pine.
To the end I remind of the fact, that as the climate change proceeds, there must be payed a great attention to a new kind of and versitale plant use. Holding on only to old ways is both indifference towards changing circumstances and wasting possibilities brought by the change. These kinds of conifer plants are one part of the new era's plant use. I might bring out in the future more these kinds of plant introductions from the internet, because my own plant photography project doesn't include these kinds of species and cultivars unknown in Finland.
