    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The Sicilian Fir is native only to the island of Sicily. It is critically endangered due to its small habitat. This unique cultivar has a bright gold color that makes this rare conifer even more special. Prefers some shade to prevent burning.

    This is so rare it is good to see people saving clones even if clone G is a bit vague.
