Korean Fir Abies koreana ‘Silberlocke’
I was introduced to this good-looking evergreen a few years ago.
It is a conical shaped slow grower. The blue tinted tree adds 2 to 3 inches a year and can grow to 15 feet tall and 5 feet wide.
It’s most spectacular feature - the needles on the new growth curve upright exposing a silvery sheen. The tree shimmers in sunlight.
It was love at first sight. Maybe someday I’ll find a spot for this fir in my garden.
