Abies or Fir Tree

Abies - fir - are large bushy conical shaped evergreen conifers. With spiral like branches, on the upper branches they have large beautiful cones that open whist still on the tree.

How to Grow and Look after your Abies

A versatile conifer that grow in most aspects of the garden, in most soil conditions, they do prefer the more acidic side if possible.

Feed lightly with a balanced fertiliser during the growing months.

If it’s a young tree, then keep the root moist until established.

They don’t require pruning, maybe the odd little tidy up to the conifer in the conical shape.
