The Abies cephalonica Greek Fir is a stunning and unique tree that is native to the mountains of Greece. Growing to a height of 25-35 meters, this medium-sized evergreen coniferous tree is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any park or large garden. Its needle-like leaves are glossy dark green above, with two blue-white bands of stomata below, and the cones are approximately 10-20 cm long with about 150-200 scales. Though the Greek Fir was important for wood construction in the past, it’s too rare to be of significant value nowadays. However, it is an ideal tree for adding beauty and variety to any landscape. While it’s prone to frost damage in areas that often get late frosts, this unique tree is sure to impress visitors and elevate any space it grows in.
