Shade Grade: B
I can already tell this is growing a bit one-sided like many of the trees in our front yard, but still beautiful, especially the purple buds emerging in spring.
Spanish Fir
We picked up this unusual tree for half off at the end of the season from a nursery on the Olympic peninsula that was getting ready to close up shop for the winter. Its unusual light coloring means it will burn in strong sun, which makes it one of the few ornamental conifers well-suited to shade gardens. One year in, it’s doing well, but I can already tell it is going to grow a little lopsided given the sunny-south/shady-north situation in that part of our yard.
