10 Seeds Abies Alba European Silver Fir Evergreen Tree

Abies alba, commonly known as European Silver Fir, is a stately evergreen conifer valued for its symmetrical form, soft dark green needles with silvery undersides, and tall pyramidal growth habit. It is a classic choice for landscapes, windbreaks, and traditional winter displays, and it grows slowly into an impressive long-lived tree.
This fir works well as a specimen tree, in mixed conifer plantings, or as a backdrop in larger gardens. Its needles are aromatic when crushed, and branches are often used in seasonal greenery. Provide a cool, moist site with good drainage and protection from drying winds for best establishment.
