Overview

An essential conifer for compact spaces, the Dwarf Balsam Fir 'Nana' is a hardy, slow-growing evergreen with a dense, rounded form. Features aromatic, deep green needles and thrives in zones 3-7. Mature specimens reach up to 3-4 feet tall and wide, requiring full sun to partial shade. Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Its diminutive size and low maintenance nature make it perfect for small gardens, rockeries, or as a foundation plant.
