Abies Koreana

Abies Koreana, commonly known as the Korean fir, is a species of evergreen coniferous tree belonging to the Pinaceae family. Native to the high elevations of South Korea, this tree is known for its exceptional beauty and distinctive characteristics.  Korean firs are medium-sized trees that typically reach heights of around 12 meters, although some specimens can grow taller under optimal conditions.
When young, Korean firs often have a broadly conical shape. As they mature, they tend to develop a more narrow and pyramidal crown. The needles are a prominent feature of Abies Koreana. They are short and quite striking, glossy dark green on the upper side with white bands on the underside, creating a distinctive silvery appearance.
The cones of the Korean fir are also quite unique. They are small and stand upright on the branches. The cones start off violet-purple and then turn brown as they mature. The tightly packed scales of the cones give them a decorative appearance even after they release their seeds.

Korean firs are often planted as specimen trees in gardens and parks due to their aesthetic appeal. They can also be used for creating hedges, windbreaks, and screens.
– The distinctive appearance of the needles and cones adds interest to winter landscapes, making the Korean fir a sought-after choice for year-round beauty.
