Shop Good quality and cheap Korean FirAbies koreana

Among all conifers, the Korean Fir (Abies koreana) stands out as one of the most captivating. Its striking violet-blue cones appear upright amidst dark green foliage, starting at a compact 60cm (2ft) in height. These cones continue to charm throughout the summer and into late winter. The tree’s needles are broader, more rounded, and softer than those of native spruces, giving it a lush, conical shape as the branches spiral around its central stem. This enchanting evergreen is perfect as a specimen tree, offering year-round visual interest. Although it can grow to a significant size, its slow growth ensures it remains manageable for many years. Ultimate height: Up to 10m (32′). Spread: 6m (19′). One of the most decorative ornamental trees you could plant in your garden, the Korean Fir offers year-round appeal. Most firs don’t produce cones until they are mature, but this striking variety will start bearing cones at just 60cm (2ft) high. And what cones! Violet-purple in colour and standing upright on the branches, they develop over the summer and last until late winter. For the rest of the year, the foliage is very decorative; the dark needles with silvery undersides grow on branches that ‘twirl’ around the trunk, giving the tree a fuller appearance than some other varieties. Grow Abies koreana in moist, fertile, neutral to slightly acid, well drained soil. Choose a position in full sun. A sheltered site with even light is preferable to ensure even growth and retain its elegant shape. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve its structure and fertility.
