| Description |
English: Abies concolor 'Hosta La Vista' (Hidden Lake Gardens, early 2000s) 2019 photo - Common Name: Dwarf White Fir Witches' Broom, Size at 10 years: 2x2ft., Thick, blue-green needles with a glaucous, powdery coating., USDA Hardiness Zone 4, In Garden Bed HR-Q for 10.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2009.
Abies concolor 'Hosta la Vista' is a globose to flattened globose selection of White fir with thick, Blue-green needles that are slightly recurved and have a glaucous, powdery coating on their surfaces. After 10 years a mature specimen will likely growth to at least 18 inches (45 cm) tall and somewhat wider, a rate of growth of 1.5 to 2 inches (3 - 5 cm) per year. This cultivar originated as a witch's broom found in the early 2000s at Hidden Lake Gardens, Tipton, Michigan. Since the broom is in plain sight, it's impossible to know who the first observer was to see it. Gerry Donaldson, the long-time horticulture manager and Hidden Lake Gardens, is credited with naming the mutation and initially distributing propagation material to several growers, thus introducing it to the nursery trade. The cultivar name is a rather clever play on words. The original broom was found in a part of the arboretum that overlooks the garden's hosta collection. So "Hosta la Vista" literally translates into "View of the Hostas." First named Abies concolor 'Hidden Lakes WB.’ Location: Michigan State University, Hidden Lake Gardens, Tipton, MI. Harper Collection of Rare & Dwarf Conifers. 42°01'42.2"N 84°06'44.0"W pruh-nuhn-see-ey-shuh n: AY-beez KON-kol-or (Silver Fir + Same colour)
