Discover the exquisite Abies homolepis, commonly known as Nikko Fir, a majestic evergreen tree native to the mountainous regions of Japan. Renowned for its stunning pyramidal habit, this tree reaches heights of 30-50 feet, making it an ideal choice for a striking landscape accent or a symmetrical focal point in large gardens. Nikko Fir captivates with its glossy dark green needles, which reveal two distinctive white stomatal bands underneath, creating a mesmerizing effect throughout the year. These slightly notched needles are complemented by unique purplish cones, adding a vibrant touch to its elegant profile.

Perfectly suited for cool climates, Nikko Fir thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring average, well-drained soils. It is exceptionally tolerant of urban pollution and features a strong central leader with almost oriental, horizontally-tiered branches. This tree is low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning, and boasts a rough brown bark that enhances its visual appeal. With a potential lifespan of over 60 years, Nikko Fir offers enduring beauty and versatility, whether as a vertical accent or a standalone specimen. Plant it in a sheltered location and enjoy its year-round allure, making a bold statement in your landscape design.
