Abies nordmanniana ‘Munsterland’

Abies nordmanniana 'Muensterland' is also an acceptable spelling

Abies nordmanniana 'Müsnsterland' is a choice, dwarf selection of Nordmann fir. Overall, the plant's structure is that of a miniature flat round bun. Needles are densely arranged about the stem and light green in color. Annual growth in most areas is 1 to 2 inches (2.5 - 5 cm), resulting in a tiny tree measuring 10 inches (25 cm) tall and 12 inches (30 cm) wide after 10 years.

Güsnther Eschrich of Recklinghausen, Germany found the original witch's broom in 1986, in northern Germany, from which this cultivar was first propagated. This conifer is an excellent choice for the rock garden or alpine garden because of its intricate structure and rugged appearance.
