White Fir 'Compacta', Compact White Fir, Abies concolor 'Glauca Compacta', Abies concolor 'Glauca Nana'
A deservedly popular White Fir, Abies concolor ‘Compacta’ is a slow-growing dwarf evergreen conifer of great beauty. It forms a dense, compact mound of irregular, spreading shape, unless it is sheared to a conical form. Its branches are beautifully clothed with long and slender, powder-blue needles that brighten up the garden and contrast with the green landscape. Brown to purple rounded cones appear upright on the branches after several decades of growth.
