Description

Korean fir is native to the southern Korean peninsula in the cool, moist mountainous areas near Mt. Halla. Korean fir is on the endangered list as it’s native habitat covers only eight square miles. They are suffering losses due to encroachment by bamboo and other possible environmental problems. They thrive in moist acidic soils and also break bud later than many other firs. Great choice for moist areas where Fraser firs are burned.
