Notes
'Archer’s Dwarf' white fir (Abies concolor 'Archer’s Dwarf') is a shrub for borders, containers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense, evergreen shape with fragrant needles that tolerates drought and attracts birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first. You can enjoy its winter interest all year.
