Abies koreana ‘Pinocchio’

Abies koreana 'Pinocchio' is a nice, dwarf rounded bush form of Korean fir. Foliage is a nice bluish-green and annual growth is around 1 - 1.5 inches (2.5 - 3.5 cm) per year. After 10 years the gardener can expect a ball of needles 12 x 12 inches (30 x 30 cm) tall and wide.

Another of the small, bun-shaped forms of Korean fir. It grows slower than 'Silber Mavers' but faster than 'Silberkugel'.
