Ken, is that a variegated oak right there?

why yes will.. consistent with the post int he tree forum.. wonder if you found it yet ...

i see you found it ... check out the link for the oak ...

Here is a link that might be useful: link

Ken, could it be that the true cultivar name for this one is 'Golden Globe' instead of 'Globosa Aurea'...?

joy.. i believe anything you tell me ....

my guess .... the business who rooted it .. had 50 million tags made back in the olden latin days ... and is going to use them up.. no matter how many centuries it takes ... the cost of printing new ones being prohibitive ...

so yes.. it would not surprise me if the nomenclature rules have made the name more proper as you suggest ...

ps: just checked.. bigboxstore may 2002 .... probably one of the last things i ever bought at bbs ....

If it's T.o. 'Golden Globe,' MOBOT says it will reach 8' in 70 years.

Let us know, will you Ken?

Ken, is the colour of your plant just like this one?
From your pic I can't see it's true colour...

my plant is in very bright light.. but pretty much shade all day .. i would say its color is muted ...

i often wondered if it would color like yours..

maybe frank will come root some .. and we can find out ...

in the shade.. it almost looks as dull .. and i am not looking up the spelling.. warreana lutescens ...which has never really impressed me with color ...

When I planted a small one of these and grew it for a time it also soon formed a pointed top.

How many leaders ? :O)

If it formed a pointed top your's isn't a 'Golden Globe' but a Thuja occ.'Sunkist'...

Thanks for the offer Ken but I don't think I need more Golden Globes.

Frank

just checking to make sure your alive frank.. lol ...

thx for the pic ... i love that row of rolly polly soldiers ...
