Description
An beautiful and colorful conifer in more ways than one, the Horstmann’s Silberlocke Korean Fir wows with outstanding foliage and cones. What really makes it unique are the two-toned, recurved, blue-green evergreen needles with gleaming, silver-white undersides that provide a magnificent, striking effect in the landscape. If that wasn’t enough, upright purple colored cones are produces at the tips of almost every stem on the tree. With a moderate growth rate for a Korean fir, you can expect 8 to 10 inches in size added per year on an elegant upright pyramidal form that might reach 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide in 10 years and up to 20 feet tall and 14 feet or more wide when all grown up.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing up to 20 feet more in height and 12 or more feet wide, the Horstmann’s Silberlocke Korean Fir is an eye-catching beauty perfect for use as a focal point specimen in the sunny landscape. Is also suitable for container gardens. A fine addition to conifer gardens, silver gardens, Asian gardens and rock gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 7 feet for screen plantings; 14 feet or more for space between trees
Growing Preferences
The Horstmann’s Korean Fir is easy to grow in a damp to moist but well-drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other conifers, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic; leading to root rot or other harmful plant diseases. So make sure to plant this one in well-drained soil, whether in the ground or in pots. Once established, water needs are lower when growing in the ground. In pots, soil moisture will need to be monitored more closely, especially during summer. When the top two inches of soil is dry, provide water.
