Abies concolor 'Glauca Compacta' / blue compact white fir

Abies concolor 'Glauca Compacta' is a superfluous name for Abies concolor 'Compacta.' Murray Hornibrook changed the name in 1939. Nonetheless, both cultivar names are seen to this day in the nursery trade. Be aware that they are one in the same.
