Among all conifers, the Korean Fir (Abies koreana) stands out as one of the most captivating. Its striking violet-blue cones appear upright amidst dark green foliage, starting at a compact 60cm (2ft) in height. These cones continue to charm throughout the summer and into late winter. The tree’s needles are broader, more rounded, and softer than those of native spruces, giving it a lush, conical shape as the branches spiral around its central stem. This enchanting evergreen is perfect as a specimen tree, offering year-round visual interest. Although it can grow to a significant size, its slow growth ensures it remains manageable for many years. Ultimate height: Up to 10m (32'). Spread: 6m (19'). One of the most decorative ornamental trees you could plant in your garden, the Korean Fir offers year-round appeal. Most firs don't produce cones until they are mature, but this striking variety will start bearing cones at just 60cm (2ft) high. And what cones! Violet-purple in colour and standing upright on the branches, they develop over the summer and last until late winter. For the rest of the year, the foliage is very decorative; the dark needles with silvery undersides grow on branches that 'twirl' around the trunk, giving the tree a fuller appearance than some other varieties. Grow Abies koreana in moist, fertile, neutral to slightly acid, well drained soil. Choose a position in full sun. A sheltered site with even light is preferable to ensure even growth and retain its elegant shape. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve its structure and fertility.

Live Plants

Dobies strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Dobies products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.
