Silver Korean Fir

This is one of the most stunning evergreens we've ever seen. Silver Korean fir offers a dense, beautiful habit and white-bottomed needles that curl up toward the stem. This gives the tree a decidedly flocked appearance year-round.

Name: Abies koreana 'Horstmann's Silberlocke'

Growing Conditions: Full sun and moist, well-drained soil

Size: To 30 feet tall

Zones: 5-8

Grow It Because: You love the unique silvery effect and soft needles.
