The Silver Curls Korean Fir is a beautiful dwarf evergreen with a perfect symmetrical pyramid form. It grows well in all the cooler parts of the country, and is the perfect choice if you have cold winters and lots of snow. It makes a striking feature, looking frosted with silver, because the needles curl upwards, showing their silver back. Even young trees are decorated in winter with beautiful purple, upright cones that are a special feature of this tree. Use a pair of these trees on either side of a doorway or entrance, to make a neat welcoming to your home. Plant them around the house, where you can be sure they will never grow too large. Use this tree wherever you want a neat pyramid that never needs trimming to keep its compact form.
Choose a sunny or partially-shaded location for your Silver Curls Korean Fir. It should be planted in well-drained soil and it does best in lighter soils, not clay. It has no significant pests or diseases, but it does not grow well in polluted urban environments. This tree is always attractive, whatever the season, and it has a special charm and beauty that you will love. This is the perfect choice for any colder region.
