5 Seeds Turkish Fir Tree Abies bornmuelleriana Ornamental Evergreen Conifer

This offering includes 5 seeds of Abies bornmuelleriana, commonly known as the Turkish fir, a stately evergreen conifer prized for its symmetrical, pyramidal form and soft, dark green needles with silvery undersides. This ornamental tree adds year-round structure and elegance to spacious landscapes, serving as a striking focal point or a natural privacy screen as it matures. Its attractive foliage and classic Christmas tree shape make it a favorite among gardeners seeking a hardy, visually appealing conifer.
Grow Turkish fir in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and a location with full sun to partial shade for best results. This slow-growing tree eventually reaches a substantial height, so allow ample space for its mature spread. Water regularly during establishment and mulch to retain soil moisture. As an ornamental specimen, it provides habitat and seasonal interest, while its dense branching offers excellent windbreak potential in cooler climates.
