A fir that has done well for me is A. fraseri. They are surprisingly drought tolerant, even in our droughty soils. I'm not saying they'd do well in steamy ol' St Louis, but it's a much tougher plant than I would have thought. We've got several here of varying age/size and they all look good.

Getting back to pines, here's a Blue Shag look-alike with a twist: 'Vercurve'. It's one of my spouse's favorite conifers and I like it more with each passing year, but I suppose that's true of many plants.

Pistil, I like your idea of all going to the arboretum together. How about if we all meet at Denver Botanical Gardens on July 28?
