Argentea Subalpine Fir

Argentea Subalpine Fir is a conical, dense, coniferous tree growing to 8-15 m tall. It grows quite quickly, 10-12 cm per year. Shoots are thick, long, strongly branched. Young shoots are ash-blue. The bark is gray, smooth, with small cracks. The needles are very soft, 1.5-4 cm long, fragrant, gray-blue with a noticeable silvery tint. Cones are elongated-elliptical in shape, very elegant, red-violet in color. They grow vertically upwards, turn brown until autumn.

Full sun lover, but maintains easy shading. Winter hardiness is average, frost resistance increases with age. Humidity tolerant, but does not tolerate prolonged stagnant moisture. Mostly undemanding to the soil, but grows well in fertile, light, well-drained.
