Abies balsamea 'Piccolo'

Balsam fir

Abies balsamea ?Piccolo? is a tiny, uniform Balsam fir with dark green needles that radiate around its many short branches, hugging the stems. It is smaller and finer than ?Nana? and its branches tend to grow with a bit of a tweist. The dense, very small globe is ideal for rock gardens, containers and small landscapes. In ten years, a mature specimen will stand 12 inches (30 cm) tall and 16 inches (40 cm) wide.
