Abies koreana
Korean Fir
Description
Abies koreana, commonly known as the Korean fir, is an attractive evergreen coniferous tree native to the high mountains of South Korea. This tree is cherished for its beautiful appearance, particularly its cones, which are often a vibrant purple color when young. The needles are soft and a deep green colour with a silvery underside. Abies koreana typically grows to a moderate height, with a pyramidal shape. It thrives in cool, moist environments with well-drained soil and full sun or partial shade. Prune the lower branches and top of the plant to keep it in a conical shape and promote the growth of lateral buds.
