This noble fir is a large prostrate form with thick rounded bright blue needles that gives a good colour contrast within any garden. This is just one of the good looking Conifers that can be suitable for a British garden.

• This prostrate form is slow growing. Remove any strong vertical branches
• Young plants need a good soaking when the soil becomes too dry and prefer a moisture retentive soil
• Roots spread wider than the tree but shouldn’t need fertiliser
• Will stand very cold winter temperatures
• The habit, form and colour of this Pine make it a good plant to incorporate into a garden design
