Abies procera 'Yin' is still a relatively new cultivar but it shows a miniature growth rate of about 1 inch (2.5 cm) a year, more laterally with a teal-green hue.
Discovered on a Noble fir at Drakes Crossing Christmas tree farm in Silverton, Oregon, by Jason Hupp. This broom was one of two separate brooms found on the same Noble fir. The upper broom was named 'Yin', the lower 'Yang', by Will Fletcher of Hobbiton Gardens, Port Orchard, WA.
