Callitropsis vietnamensis..

(Syn. Xanthocyparis vietnamensis)

We were given a branch of this unusual conifer to propagate today, Callitropsis vietnamensis was first discovered in Vietnam in 1999. It is closely related to the North American Alaskan Cedar Chamaecyparis nootkatensis recently renamed Callitropsis nootkatensis. Here's hoping we can put some roots on it!
