Abies koreana ‘Silberperle’ (Korean Fir) is a miniature, evergreen conifer of globose habit when young, becoming a small squat conical tree over time. Its compact branches are adorned with short, slightly twisted, deep green needles exposing their silvery undersides, creating a lovely bi-color effect. The resin-covered buds, which resemble silver pearls, are also attractive. Slow-growing, 2-3 in. per year (5-7 cm), this desirable Korean Fir is an excellent choice for small gardens, containers, or rockeries.
