Notes
Momi fir (Abies firma) is an evergreen tree for specimen, accent, and privacy screen use. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Its green needles grow on a columnar form that reaches 40 to 60 feet tall. Growth is slow, so give it plenty of room to mature. It blooms in early to late spring.
Pairs well with Dawn redwood, Virginia sweetspire, and Karl Foerster feather reed grass.
