While I don't have many of these cultivars, it's a wonderfully nice, lush fir and I look forward to collecting more cultivars.

Abies nordmanniana 'Golden Spreader'. Becoming more and more common - and for good reason - the gold hues become strongly apparent in Winter, becoming almost blindingly gold for months on end. One would be advised to give this ample shade and frequent water until established, particular in hot climates for it can tend to burn readily in full sun.

Another specimen I have with more sunlight, showing very distinct coloration variance.

'Muensterland'. The spelling is probably an area I need help. I've seen it listed multiple ways. A nice miniature/small dwarf regardless.

'Trautman'. Nice silverly undersides on this medium upright. Probably a plant I'll make room for if I can.

Interesting cultivar -- kind of an "arrested death" syndrome. First-year needles are normal, lose enough chlorophyll to go "aurea" in a year, then lose the rest and go albino the following year.

Hi Dariusz, that's a very nice yellow Abies nordmanniana you got there!
I hope you can graft one for me when it produced some scions ;0)
Your daughter must be proud that you named it after her!

Firefighter,
I've enjoyed looking at your photo's over the last year.

In answer to your question; To be completely correct, the spelling for A.N. Muensterland should have an umlaut over the "u", with no "e" after the "u". The font used here doens't seem to want to support an umlaut. (no real surprise there.) Or at least not on my computer as there is a box where the u-umlaut should be.

Muensterland, with an "e" following the "u" is a correct variation of the German spelling. An "e" after a non-umlauted vowel (only "a", "o", and "u" can take an umlaut) will represent that the vowel is supposed to have an umlaut. Or at least that's what I learned in my four years of German.

And yeah, I too have seen some "interesting" spellings for this specimen.

Dear Clement,
I guess this is the first 'Barabits Compact', which grows a leader.
