Nordmann Fir Tree (Abies Nordmanniana)

Nordmann Fir (Abies nordmanniana) is a classic evergreen conifer tree, prized for its lush, dark green needles and beautifully symmetrical shape. Among the most popular fir trees for ornamental planting, Nordmann Fir holds its soft, glossy foliage well throughout the year, making it a long lasting choice for gardens and a timeless seasonal gift. Rather than showy flowers, Nordmann Fir produces upright cones and dense branches that provide excellent shelter for birds and other wildlife. This robust, reliable conifer tree is well suited to cooler climates, though it benefits from some shelter in very exposed, windy positions.

Highly frost hardy and moderately wind resistant, Nordmann Fir grows best in moist, well drained soils in full sun or partial shade.

With very little pruning required, Nordmann Fir is a low maintenance fir tree that gradually develops into an impressive focal point, reaching heights of up to 25 metres or more.
