SUBALPINE FIR

Abies lasiocarpa Glauca Compacta is commonly referred to as Subalpine Fir, Blue Rocky Mountain Fir, Blue Compact Subalpine Fir or Glauca Compacta Dwarf Blue Subalpine Fir. This dwarf, slow-growing, pyramidal evergreen features powder blue needles that have a soft appearance and are soft to the touch. Dense branching forms a tight conical form which is quite attractive and resembles a perfect Christmas tree.

Glauca Compacta Dwarf Blue Subalpine Fir thrives in full sun in rich, loamy, sandy, evenly moist, well-drained soils.
