Abstract: A distinct Thuja occidentalis cultivar having a shorter maximum height at maturity with a less elongate crown, more piriform shape, and overall bright green coloration all year round. The branchiets are slightly curved and ascend in more compacted sprays requiring less trimming to maintain shape.

Abstract: A welding alloy is disclosed for welding together an aluminum-lithium alloy to provide a weld characterized by insensitivity to weld cracking, good resistance to weld corrosion, and the ability to develop high weld strength during subsequent aging. The welding alloy consists essentially of an aluminum base alloy containing from about 4.5 to about 6.5 wt. % Cu, from about 0.2 to about 1.5 wt. % Mg, from about 0.8 to about 2.5 wt. % Li, and from about 0.07 to about 0.20 wt. % Ti; with the following maximum amounts of specific impurities: about 0.15 wt. % Si, about 0.30 wt. % Fe, about 0.3 wt. % Zn, and about 0.3 wt. % Mn; the balance consisting essentially of aluminum and not more than about 0.15 wt. % max. total of other impurities.
