This selection originated as a witches' broom on Abies koreana 'Horstmann's Silberlocke'. It has the same recurved foliage but everything is reduced in size. The growth habit appears to be that of a miniature, flat-topped cushion. The recurved foliage gives this cushion a silver-white color and produces an exceptionally nice plant that stands out in the landscape.
