 Abies thru Cupressus
DEC 2012

Abies - Fir — Usually very large, pyramidal, rough barked trees bearing upright cones which disintegrate after seeds ripen; undersides of needles usually silvery green to silvery blue. While Abies can be easy to grow, we have found that they are not tolerant of extremely dry or extremely wet conditions. In containers they are especially difficult, particularly during warm weather. Planted in a well drained planting mix, they do well while the mix is new, but after a few months, as the organic matter in the mix breaks down, the mix becomes more dense and the same amount of water can kill the tree. Use a soil mixture that contains a high percentage of pumice or perlite which will not decompose. We are very careful to ship only trees with healthy live roots; however, only a short time in the wrong soil mixture as well as too much or too little water for more than an hour or two can kill a young tree. For these reasons that are beyond our control, we must modify our replacement policy to cover only the first month, with authorized replacement at one-half price plus shipping cost.

Abies alba - Silver Fir — (-30°F, USDA Zones 4-8) Slow growing, this stately evergreen can reach heights of 100’ or more. Its needles are dark green above with two white bands on the underside. The Silver Fir can tolerate more shade than the typical fir but requires somewhat more moist soil.

60380 Abies alba ‘Pyramidalis’ — The attractive glossy green needles densely held on ascending branches form a tight columnar tree in youth. Growing 6-12" a year, it will eventually reach 20-30’ with a shape becoming more conical with age. 6-12" $25.95, 1-2’ $32.95

61010 Abies amabilis ‘Spreading Star’ — DWARF. (-10°F, USDA Zones 6-8) This is a cute little ground cover type of Pacific Silver Fir.

Abies balsamea — (-40°F, USDA Zones 3-8) At lower elevations this fir can grow to 60-90’, but in higher elevations, it will stay lower and more prostrate. It is generally stiff in habit and pyramidal in shape. With its lustrous dark green needles and dark purple cones (even when young), it is used mainly as a specimen tree. Many good conifers have come from this hardy tree.

It has new spring growth that is white and then variegated through the summer months. During the fall and winter it becomes greyish and has white only on the tips of the twigs, and branches. ‘Sahara Frost’ grows faster than the sister seedling. We think they both will grow rapidly and it will evidently become a tree. SOLD OUT

    61083 Cedrus atlantica ‘Silberspitz’ — An upright and narrow form of Atlas Cedar has white new growth tips that turn more yellow in winter and look particularly good against the blue-green older needles. It was found and introduced by Horstmann Nursery in Schneverdingen, Germany. Fine the right narrow spot for this special plant. SOLD OUT

This very graceful conifer is one of the most beautiful specimens for lawn or border and for those who have the room, it makes a glorious grove when different sized trees are planted. A fast grower in youth, it slows as it matures, becoming less open. Prefers well drained, moist, deep, loamy soil but can tolerate sandy or clay soils as long as there is not standing water.
