Abies koreana Silberlocke

Abies koreana ‘Silberlocke’ is a distinctive Korean fir known for its dramatically curled needles that reveal bright silvery-white undersides. Selected in Germany in the mid-20th century, this cultivar develops a narrow, upright to pyramidal form with exceptional texture and visual interest year-round. It prefers full sun to partial shade, along with cool, well-drained soil, and grows at a slow to moderate rate compared to the species. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–7, it typically reaches 10–15 feet tall over time and is a standout specimen for collectors and focal plantings.
