Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A fantastic stiffly weeping form, it survived last years brutal winter unscathed, (I expected it to be toast) our plant sits atop an exposed hill coning heavily but apparently not in preparation for its own demise.

This dramatic fir has a narrow weeping form with a straight central leader and weeping side branches. Glossy dark green needles with silvery undersides produce a very soft appearance, especially when contrasted against bright new growth. A profuse display of purple cones adds decoration.
