Abies concolor 'Eagle Point' is a dwarf, globose selection of white fir with gray-green foliage and a pleasing symmetrical branch structure. As the plant matures it will develop a bit of apical dominance, but will take a very long time before assuming any sort of conical shape. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 18 inches (45 cm) tall and wide, an annual growth rate of 1.5 to 2 inches (3.5 - 5 cm).
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in 1987 by Randy Dykstra of Fulton, Illinois. He found the original broom in a Catholic cemetery in Clinton, Iowa and named it for a local park. Although this plant's discovery is often attributed to Chub Harper, it was confirmed through telephone conversations that it was Dykstra's find.
