Common Name: Dwarf Balsam Fir
An outstanding conifer shrub showcasing its robust, single dark green needles that spread out to the side of branches. Bark is black and slightly flaky but it seldom seen due to the compactness of the cultivar. Its spreading branches make this hybrid an astounding specimen in the garden. It normally grows 4 ft tall and spread 3 ft wide in oval crown form. It requires some protection from hot summer sun but tolerates partial shade condition. Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil. Abies balsamea nana is ideal for rock garden, border or as a foundation plant.
