Abies koreana 'Aurea' Size:3 gal size 3-4 years oldGolden form of the Korean Fir, unless grown in shade, where it will be more green than gold. Discovered by Lohbrunner nursery in British Columbia in the 1950's in a batch of seedlings. This tree grows more globose when young, but later develops a leader and becomes a broad upright tree. The shorter needles emerge a bright yellow in spring, but fade to a dull light yellow green by winter. The purple cones, typical of the species, contrast nicely with
adding to its attractiveness
A magnet for hummingbirds
They are white with a yellow throat and pink of the back sides
A very attractive shrub with deep purple leaves that hold color throughout the summer
making it stand out in the landscape
The bark exfoliates and has a "manzanita" look
and has scrumptious creamy-peachy flowers that smell of gardenias
but come summer the hummingbird flock to this great garden gem
and a rich gold dorsal blotch
A NEW weeping form of Bald Cypress
The plant itself is one of the most handsome foliage wise of any variety that we grow
but makes up for this with abundant flowers and fruits
