Nursery contributed plant descriptions

For a beautiful display of upright purple cones above dense green needles, this low, spreading form of Arnoldiana fir with green needles is an excellent choice. The prostrate plant, a cross between Abies koreana and Abies veitchii, grows very slowly.
A. koreana x A. veitchii 'Poulsen' is a result of a cross made in Denmark in 1983 by Poulsen nurseries, the plant is a low flat mound and exceptional in that it often produces cones of two different colors at a young age.
