Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Selected by Seth Kelsey of Mass. in 1916 obviously a low growing form.

By: Arrowhead Alpines

A dwarf, low Fraser fir, this slow-growing conifer spreads out to become an irregular, flat-topped shrubby form that hugs the ground. Short, dense needles are shiny dark green above and silvery below. Upright, resinous cones add interest.
