Comments: This selection was chosen because of its outstanding blue-green coloration. Each glossy needle has two silver bands on the back plus a small silver patch at the tip. The overall effect is dark foliage with the look of frost on its branches. Very nice. This fir has been found to be very adaptable to many areas of the United States and is very drought and wind tolerant when established.
