Description

A conical type that matures slowly into a beautifully compact, broadly pyramidal plant, the perfect dwarf Christmas tree. Named after Lord Clanbrassil of Ireland, who introduced several Picea abies cultivars during the late 18th century. From Krussman (DS8):"'Clanbrassiliana Stricta' is practically identical to 'Clanbrassiliana Elegans'. As older plants they can not be distinguished (according to Welch)."
