Notes
'Aurea' Korean fir (Abies koreana 'Aurea') is a tree for specimen planting, accents, borders, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows slowly in an erect form and stays evergreen all year. It can reach 240 to 299 inches tall, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Purple moor grass, and Tree heath.
