Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The leader and branches of this narrow, weeping balsam fir start out upright or horizontal and gradually angle down as they age. At 10 years, the lower 80% of the trees branches will be weeping and the upper 20% will extend horizontally or upright.
Weeping forms of balsam fir are few and far between, all the more reason to celebrate this weeping gem from Larry Stanley.
