Jodła koreańska (Abies koreana)

The Jodła koreańska (Abies koreana) is one of the most decorative fir species, native to the mountainous regions of Korea. It grows slowly, forming a dense, conical crown with short, glossy needles that reveal striking silvery undersides. One of its most distinctive features is the appearance of purple-blue, upright cones—even on young plants—creating a stunning contrast against the deep-green foliage. The tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Hardy and low-maintenance, it performs exceptionally well in cooler climates, making it a favorite choice for ornamental plantings, front gardens, and rock gardens. Its elegant shape and unique cones make it a standout feature in any landscape design.
