This attractive, slow-growing European White Fir has a distinctive horizontal habit with compact branches spreading out in low, dense layers. Shiny green needles with silvery undersides cloak the silver-barked branches and give the plant a refined, classy look. Originally found as a witch's broom at Holden Arboretum, in Kirkland, Ohio, this namesake forms a mound that stays wider than tall. Soft, new spring growth and dainty tan buds add to its year-round interest. Iseli text.

George Tyler of New Hampshire had a very blue seedling of Balsam Fir show up in his Xmas tree plantation, which he had marked as “not for sale”. He allowed Greg Williams of Kate Brook Nursery in Vermont to propagate scions from the tree. Later he found that one of his customers had cut the tree. This Balsam Fir is typical to the species in being a conical tree, but unique with its blue foliage. ACS text.

Weeping Larry 2010 Mesterházy in Conifer Treasury of the USA & Canada 1.0
Larry Stanley USA
Stanley & Sons Nursery Inc. Boring, OR USA
Rare Tree & Conifer Kingdom Nursery OR USA
The leader and branches of this narrow, weeping balsam fir start out upright or horizontal and gradually angle down as they age. At 10 years, the lower 80% of the tree’s branches will be weeping and the upper 20% will extend horizontally or upright. One might ask: who was Larry??? Regardless, with Abies balsamea ‘Weeping Larry’ you will have a decision to make. That being whether you are going to force it into some preconceived notion of what you think it will be. Or, left to its own devices, whether you will be willing to join the ‘weirder the better’ club. We have seen specimens simply take off at a 45 degree angle.. then go up for a few years, then do other things. Why? I ask, why not??? Where was I, oh, typical balsamae with its fragrance and white undersides. Also, should you wish to train this, timing is of the essence. Once the wood hardens, you will NOT be bending it back. So be prepared to do such very carefully in early spring, without breaking off tender new growth. Its a real catch 22.
Do you have enough of a sense of humor in your garden for something potentially as weird as Abies balsamea ‘Weeping Larry’???? BTW, it was Larry Stanley, and he did man up enough to offer us this remarkable plant. Thanks Larry. Markus text.

I grew Abies bracteata beginning in the early 1980's, my start coming from plantsman Dr. Corbin of Portland, Oregon, and from then on I referred to it as Abies bracteata 'Corbin'. Propagating from an attractive tree in someone's garden doesn't really qualify for cultivar status; but again, I was just trying to keep my sources distinct. Buchholz text.

Greg's Broom - "Should be 'H. Broom'. I found a total of seven brooms af the Hunnewell Arb - some now gone - two I couldn't reach with my 40' pole. I spread them around as "H." so no one would raid the place. I did show them to a few others." Greg Williams text.
This plant is dwarf and appears to be globose
with a growth rate of about 2” per year.

An amazing lush dark green even in winter, the parent plant is apparently an unnamed seedling.

Variegated yellow or gold.
New growth puts out lemon yellow in full sun. Underside of needles tends to develop a pale grey green look while top of needles (in sun) retains a pale yellow appearance throughout the year. Thus, on sunny days the reflection from bright light tends to mute the color but on overcast bright days, the tops of the needles glow brightly. Needles turn pale grey green if grown in partial shade. ACS text.
