Abies koreana Silver Show

Silver Korean Fir

Abies koreana 'Silver Show' is a slow growing, upright, small tree form of Korean fir. The two-toned needles of Abies koreana ‘Silver Show’ are so tightly curled that the shoots are almost cylindrical, exposing the extremely white undersides completely. The result is a silver-white element in the garden. The contrasting dark purple cones stand out against the foliage. Showy colour and special texture abound.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Korean firs are generally very low-maintenance trees, especially once they are established in the landscape. It is important to start them off right, planting them in a spot that has good drainage and preferably rich, acidic soil. Our Korean Fir is planted in morning sun in a protected site and it is thriving. Avoid hot, sun baked sites.
