Plant Description

Abies koreana ‘OBERON’ is a compact, slow-growing conifer that captivates with its dense, rounded habit and refined structure. This dwarf Korean fir forms a sculptural dome of dark green, glossy needles that flash silvery-white undersides when touched by wind or sunlight. Its neat form and deliberate pace make it an ideal choice for rock gardens, container displays, or the architectural edges of formal beds. Gardeners admire its small stature and refined, almost bonsai-like appearance.

Midway through the season, Abies koreana ‘OBERON’ may surprise with upright violet-blue cones that emerge above the foliage like small candles. These eye-catching cones, although smaller than on the species, add a vertical punctuation to its low dome. Combined with the textured needles, they bring strong visual contrast and interest through every season. This plant matures slowly, making it perfect for collectors who appreciate the long-term beauty of miniature conifers.

  • Forms a compact, globe-shaped mound with a tidy outline

  • Slow-growing: ideal for containers and alpine gardens

  • Needles show silvery undersides that shimmer in light

  • Small cones emerge upright, violet-blue in color

Abies koreana ‘OBERON’ is not only charming but also remarkably hardy. It thrives in well-drained soil and can tolerate winter frost with ease. Over time, its structured silhouette becomes a living sculpture in any setting.
