Height: 10’, Spread: 5’ 033975 C3 $129.00 balsamea Piccolo Piccolo Dwarf Balsam Fir zones 3 j p a Tiny, uniform, dark green needles cover the conifer’s many short branches and, in fall, prominent brown buds on the tips of branches lend added character. Very slow growing. Height: 2’, Spread: 2’ An unusual shade of gray-green needles provide a colorful back drop for the plentiful resin covered buds on the very slow growing Abies koreana ‘Blauer Eskimo’. The flat needles are spirally arranged on short, light colored shoots that form a uniform, tight, globe-shaped plant. This excellent rock garden addi- tion enjoys full sun and moist well-drained soil. Height: 1’, Spread: 1’ 033977 C3 $160.00 koreana Cis zones 4 j p a This cultivar has radiating, dark green needles which lie flat on the stems and are highlighted by attractive, small, brown buds at the branch tips. This slow- growing, flattened, spherical plant has a formal, tidy appearance and glistening foliage that draws atten- tion in the garden. Selected in Holland in 1989. Height: 1½’, Spread: 2’ 033978 C3 $79.99 koreana Golden Glow zones 4 j a * This striking fir lives up to its name. Many shoots loaded with short, wide needles—light yellow with white reverses—brighten the scene with both color and texture. The compact, mid-size selection from Holland develops an irregular, spreading shape, and in late winter, buds with a purple cast add decoration. Provide moist, well-drained soil and some protection from scorching sun. Height: 6’, Spread: 12’ 033979 C3 $149.00 Two-toned needles recurve up and around their stems to expose a bright white, waxy underside of the green needle. Slow growing with a rounded form when young, it may eventually mature into a broadly pyramidal small tree. Grows 1-3” per year. Height: 2’, Spread: 3’ koreana Ice Breaker Ice Breaker Korean Fir zones 4-7 j p a koreana Silver Show zones 4 j a The two-toned needles of Abies koreana ‘Silver Show’ are so tightly curled that the shoots are almost cylindrical, exposing the extremely white undersides completely. The result is a silver-white element in the garden. The contrasting dark purple cones stand out against the foliage. Showy color and unique texture. 018862 C1 $33.99 018886 C3 $79.99 koreana Blauer Eskimo Blue Eskimo Korean Fir zones 4 j p a 027687 C1 $59.99 026149 C3 $149.99
