Abies amabilis ‘White Pass’

Abies amabilis ‘White Pass’ is a columnar growing Pacific silver fir broom found up in the White Pass area in the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington on Labor Day weekend in 2018. We used our snow-shoes to access and harvest the broom in January 2019. The upright growing broom was dense and measured about 4 by 2 feet in dimension. This new Abies amabilis cultivar grafted well with nearly 100% take!
