This is a neat little tree to have in your collection if you are into trees. From my experience, it is a very slow grower, perhaps because of our zone, 4a? It makes for an interesting conversation piece in the yard. I have it as a stand-alone tree, however, if I were to plant it again, I would incorporate it into more of a specimen garden. If you are considering buying this tree, look for seedlings or dwarf trees at larger nurseries. I got mine for $29....after several years it is now the size of those going for nearly $200.

A dwarf Korean Fir with short, curled needles that show off the silver from all sides. Purple cones are known to form on very young plants. Although the plants are miniature, the cones are regular-sized, adding to the excitement of this plant.
