Kohout's Ice Breaker Korean Fir, Dwarf Evergreen Conifer, Collector Tree - Live Plant

'Kohout's Ice Breaker' is a stunning dwarf Korean fir prized for its unique, curled silver-blue needles and compact growth habit. Originally discovered as a witch’s broom mutation of Abies koreana ‘Horstmann’s Silberlocke’, this slow-growing conifer forms a dense, mounding shape that becomes more conical with age.

Key Features:
