    Common name Blue Noble fir. Young tree about 17 years old, no cones yet. Growth 12"-18'' {30-45 cm.} a year. Pics 1 {flash went off} , 2 and 3 taken Sept 29/07. Pic 4 is a branch of a different form of 'Glauca'. Had only an "S...." readable on the washed out label. Any info appreciated. A little shorter needles, different blue, and softer to touch. Taken Oct 9/07.

    Wondering if first 3 pics are similar to a clone distributed by Buchholz and Buchholz Nursery called A. p. 'Silver'. This tree was purchased as a prostrate form, but after sending up a strong leader the second time was allowed to grow.
