A compact, globose fir with bright blue foliage. Found in Germany as a witch's broom on 'Blauer Pfiff'. It makes a nice substitute for Abies procera 'Blaue Hexe' which has proven difficult to grow.

MINIATURE. Great texture on this blue-green plant from Europe that will reach about 1' high eventually in s pyramid form. We are told that the color is due to the seed being treated with cobalt. Very nice.
