Description
Abies koreana Cis is a very slow-growing dwarf Korean fir with a dense, rounded to low-mounded outline. Short, glossy dark green needles radiate around compact shoots, while their silvery undersides add subtle depth when branchlets turn. Small brown terminal buds punctuate the tidy evergreen surface.
This compact conifer eventually reaches about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Give it full sun, shelter, and moist but well-drained soil that is slightly acidic to neutral. Its naturally neat form needs no routine pruning and suits rock gardens, courtyards, low-maintenance beds, and patio containers.
