Fir, Korean

Narrow, upright, fast growing and dense. Thick glossy needles with distinctive silvery white undersides. Attractive and reliable for New England landscapes. Firs are generally well adapted to New England. They prefer acidic but moist well drained soils and benefit from cooler temperatures. Relatively intolerant of air pollution, they are not well suited to city conditions with the exception of A. concolor. Cary Award Winner. Starting in 1997 the Cary Award annually recognizes underutilized woody plants especially appropriate for New England that offer superior landscape appeal in two or more seasons, are winter hardy in zone 5 or colder, are pest resistant and are readily available in the market.
