Good catch then!
The 'generic' ones have been in the ground since early June and mid July, respectively. They have barely changed in appearance since I put them in the ground, but seem pretty healthy (especially the second one) I think I purchased them from two separate nurseries - both of which had multiple flats of plants that looked exactly like them.
The 'White Diamond's just went in the ground a week or two ago, and were purchased the nursery where I got the second generic (I think). All the White Diamonds in their flats looked like the ones I have in my pictures, and not much the others. I mean, the leaf shape and coloration looks the same, but the growth patterns seem different to me. Maybe the White Diamonds are hopped up on plant food/drugs?
It seems like they would be packaged and sold at roughly the same age/stages?? That being the case, my generics should be older, which I would expect to be equal size at sale time and larger now if that was the pattern? I think I'll take some cuttings from the White Diamonds this weekend and another set from the generics and see how they compare as they grow!
I love the forsterianums too! I'm hoping for a good spot in the yard for some more, but for now I've just got the one in the pot & some cuttings. One of my Blue Spruces has that woody look too...going to have to try mixing those at one point
