Golden Korean Fir

The Golden Korean Fir begins as a rounded globe of branches, but soon develops a central trunk and becomes a graceful conical evergreen. It will be 3 to 5 feet tall in 10 years, and matures at about 20 feet tall. The needles are bright golden-yellow in spring, accented by frosty silver undersides. The color becomes more lime green through summer. Older trees develop 3-inch upright cones that are a unique purple color. This beautiful tree is a great specimen for a bed, among boulders, in a rock garden or with other colorful evergreens. It would look great in an Asian-themed garden, growing in a tub, or developed as a bonsai tree.

• Striking golden-yellow needles
• Globe form becomes conical as it develops
• Unique purple cones develop once it is mature
• Superb addition to any garden
• Ideal in areas with cold winters and cool summers

Plant your Golden Korean Fir in full sun or with a little afternoon shade. It grows best in cooler areas, with cold winters and cool, damp summers. The soil should be open and porous, not heavy with clay or wet. Pests, diseases and deer don’t bother it, and it needs no attention – just stand back and watch its beauty develop for you.
