    Interesting. I would think that C. mannii in Vietnam would be further south though. I will post a pic of it soon.

    Nice plant!

    Are these southern Cephalotaxus hardy in Western Europe or only in Great Britain?

    No - I haven't found a source for C. griffithii. I do have bonafide C. mannii. It is from plagiotropic cuttings so only horizontal growth. The foliage is nice though.

    "Are these southern Cephalotaxus hardy in Western Europe or only in Great Britain?"

    Assuming "Western Europe" includes e.g. W France, NW Spain and N Portugal, then yes, hardy in Western Europe!

    Salicaceae whats the source of your c mannii?

    It was originally from a wild collection. I will try to get the provenance data.

    Wolfgang,
    keep it in under glass, it could help what. :)

    As the southern friends of Florida are publishing the (semi)-tropical conifers, I'm just planning how big glass I need to enjoy them in z6. Yesterday I was on about 3 hectares, 7,5 acres.

    Thanks Zsolt,

    that's an idea. I will try it, when I get such plants.
