Notes
'Blue Emperor' Korean fir (Abies koreana 'Blue Emperor') is a tree for use as a specimen, accent, border, or privacy screen. 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. It grows slowly in an erect form and stays evergreen all year. Once settled in, it also tolerates drought. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Purple moor grass, and Tree heath.
