Korean Fir - Tree

Make sure the root ball of the Korean Fir is well-moistened by placing it in a bucket of lukewarm water overnight. Prepare a suitable hole in moist well-drained soil and plant the root ball of the Korean Fir at the appropriate depth. The top of the root ball should be just slightly below ground level. Fill the hole with soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting. The Korean Fir grows well in slightly acidic, sandy soil (preferably not clay soil) and with complete sunshine.

This beautiful blue spruce is a showpiece for any garden. You can use it as a solitary plant, for example, in your lawn. You can also plant it in the border, rock garden or in the heather garden. The Korean Fir will even grow well in a large planter. With limited space around the roots, this spruce will grow very slowly.

The Korean Fir is native to southern Korea. It is a strong evergreen tree that can be fairly robust and therefore needs quite a bit of space, although it doesn't grow very fast. The maximum width it can reach is no more than 2.5 metres, after several years.

The Korean Fir has minimal requirements and is very easy to maintain. During the first month after planting avoid the roots from drying out. Once the Abies koreana becomes established it will tolerate drought quite well. Pruning is not necessary as it already has a beautiful shape.
