Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A dwarf blue form with a somewhat spreading habit. Originated as a seedling from a batch of seeds radioactively treated with cobalt in Germany around 1975.

Abies koreana 'Blauer Pfiff' - A handsome, spreading habit distinguishes this beautiful Abies koreana. Its sturdy, graceful branches produce short stems covered with pert green needles. Colorful cones, a trim, tidy texture and a full, low form assure year-round beauty from the compact, reliable landscape plant.
