Overview

The Momi Fir, Abies firma, is a resilient evergreen conifer native to Japan. It forms a pyramidal shape, reaching 60-70 ft in height and 20-30 ft in width at maturity. Favored for its deep green, glossy needles and robustness against heat, it thrives in USDA zones 5-8. Distinctive for its thick, corky bark and purple cones, it provides exquisite year-round interest and is ideal for large landscapes as a stately specimen or group planting.
