Abies 'Nordmanniana'

Nordmann Fir

Dense pyramidal form of fir tree whose branches tend to droop fully clothing the base of the tree.A stately and elegant fir tree. The needles are flat and thick with a notch in the end and when crushed they emit an orange-peel fragrance.

Grow in well drained acid soil. Can be grown in full sun as this fir tollerates full sun better than other fir trees.

Named in honor of Alex von Nordmann (1803-1866) the Finnish botanist who discovered this tree.
