Abies concolor 'Ostrov nad Ohří' / Ostrov nad Ohří White fir
Abies concolor 'Ostrov nad Oh ří' is arguably one of the strangest growing cultivars of this species ever to be introduced to the nursery trade. Its overall form is generally flat and spreading with contorted branches and clumpy twisted Blue needles. Annual rate of growth in most areas in 2 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm) which will make a mature plant 2 to 3 feet (60 - 90 cm) wide and half as tall after 10 years. I should be noted that this has proven to be a somewhat difficult plant to maintain in good health.
This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in 1996 by Hejtik in the town of Ostrov, a town in the Karlovy Vary Region of Czech Republic. It is occasionally seen listed simply as, Abies concolor 'Ostrov.'
