Greek Fir 'Meyer's Dwarf'
A popular selection, Abies cephalonica ‘Meyer’s Dwarf’ (Greek Fir), is a dwarf, evergreen conifer rich in many habits. Depending on the nature of the scionwood used in propagation, this dwarf selection could present itself as a low, spreading mat of sharp, stiff, glossy dark green needles with silvery underneath. It can also be seen as an upright pyramidal tree adorned with sturdy, short branches. Slow-growing, 2-3 in. (5-7 cm) per year, this miniature conifer is an excellent choice for the rock garden, mixed shrub border, or as a ground cover.
