Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A noble fir with foliage so light blue it appears silver in color! An outstanding color on this tree, forming a nice pyramid-shaped tree as it matures slowly to an average-sized noble fir.
A selection that supposedly has superior silvery blue foliage, it looks about the same color as a number of other procera clones so far.
