This week on The Horti-Culturalists we're visiting the wonderful Conifer Gardens Nursery just outside of Melbourne - https://www.conifer.com.au/ - to look at their fabulous collection of dwarf conifers. So just what is a dwarf conifer, because some are...quite tall! How do they come about and how do you propagate them? We'll take a look at some with amazing form, or incredible colour, variegated plants and end up with a look at how to cloud prune these conifers. Many thanks to Conifer Gardens Nursery for having us and their collection and gardens are well worth a visit if you find your self in Melbourne! The plants we mention in this video are:
