Abies koreana 'Blue Emperor' is a stunning evergreen tree that belongs to the Pinaceae family. It is a slow-growing coniferous tree that can reach up to 15-20 feet tall and 5-10 feet wide at maturity, making it ideal for small gardens and landscapes. This tree is native to the Korean Peninsula and is known for its unique, blue-tinged foliage that sets it apart from other evergreens. The needles of the 'Blue Emperor' are about 1 inch long and are a striking blue-green color, which gives the tree its distinctive appearance. The needles are arranged in a spiral pattern along the branches, creating a layered look that adds depth and texture to the tree. As the tree matures, it develops a cone-shaped crown that is densely covered in foliage, giving it a full and lush appearance. In the spring, the 'Blue Emperor' produces small, purple cones that add interest and texture to the tree. The cones are about 2-3 inches long and have a slightly curved shape that adds to their visual appeal. They persist on the tree for several years, adding to the tree's year-round interest. This tree prefers moist, well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is relatively low-maintenance and requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape and size. However, it is important to keep the tree well-watered during dry spells and to protect it from strong winds, which can damage the delicate foliage.
