Abies koreana ‘Golden Glow’

Abies koreana ‘Golden Glow’ originated as a bright-foliaged selection of Korean fir, chosen for its luminous color and compact, well-branched habit. This cultivar pairs the naturally slow growth and durability of the species with a distinctive golden cast that adds year-round interest to the garden. It grows slowly, typically adding 2–4″ per year, forming a dense, broadly pyramidal shape over time. The short needles emerge soft yellow in spring, maturing to warm golden-green while retaining their silvery undersides, creating a gentle, glowing effect that lights up the landscape in every season.
