Description With its bright yellow cast this low growing, prostrate selection is a stately beauty for the winter landscape.

  Morphology:
This small garden dwarf Nordman fir will attain a height of 3’ tall at maturity but can spread to a width of 5’. During the summer and fall this species has a greener color but during the winter it displays its true yellow foliage. If it does start to send up a central leader it should be pruned back in order to maintain the spreading shape.

  Adaptation:
Partial shade to full sun.

  Pests:
None reported.
