Abies Koreana
Korean Fir
Common Name: Korean FirLatin Name: Abies ‘Koreana’Soil: Moist, well drained soil (will tolerate most soil types)Position: Full sun or partial shade (Avoid very exposed positions)Hardiness: HardyHeight in 10 years: 1.5m - 2mSpecial features: Produces unusual cylindrical purple cones, even when young The ‘Koreana’ is a highly valued conifer which is favoured for its unique cones that it produces in autumn. The cylindrical cones are purple-blue in colour and can appear on specimens that are as young as 3-4 years old. The needle-like leaves are bright green when young, and mature to a darker green colour over time; they have glistening silvery-white undersides and seen as the ‘Koreana’ is evergreen they will add interest to your garden all year round. This conifer is slow-growing and will eventually form a conical shaped tree that is densely packed with whorled branches. The ‘Koreana’ is well-suited to being planted in a large shrubbery, and works particularly well when planted alongside a glacous coloured conifer like the Chamaecyparis ‘Blue Nantais’.

Pinus sylvestris
Scots Pine
Common Name: Scots PineLatin Name: Pinus sylvestrisSoil: Chalky, Clay, Loamy, Sandy (will tolerate most soil types)Position: Full sunHardiness: HardyEventual height/spread: Up to 25m/8mSpecial features: Pine needles that grow in pairs and hold a blue-green colour all year round.Pinus sylvestris is a native to Scotland and it is therefore the only pine native to Britain; it is a slow-growing evergreen conifer that is widely planted as a parkland tree. The Scots Pine features glaucous blue-green needles that are borne in pairs and curl slightly at their tips. As this conifer slowly grows into a tall tree, its main trunk becomes deeply fissured and holds an unusual orange-red colour. In autumn, further interest is added when little green pine cones appear, and these gradually grow over two years and become brown after several months. Eventually, this tree will become very tall and it will have a long clear stem with the main branches starting from the top third of the tree. This is a great choice for parkland planting or for a large woodland type garden. Make sure that you give this mighty tree the space it needs to thrive and grow.
