The most beautiful coniferous plant for the garden has been determined: it's definitely not thuja

A variety of thujas are most often planted near fences, in compositions on flower beds and along paths. They can be tall and short, round and candle-shaped, but they are quite monotonous. It is difficult to surprise anyone with them.

Decorative alternative

Gardeners know that you can attract attention and get the “Wow!” effect with the help of a completely different plant. It is called Korean balsam fir. It can be safely given an honorable place among the most decorative.

The secret of the fir's attractiveness lies in its cones. They are not brown or green, but purple. This is what creates an incredible contrast. It is impossible to take your eyes off such beauty.

Gardeners compare the fir to a Christmas tree. Someone hangs toys on the Christmas tree, and the balsamic beauty is immediately decorated with nature.

The balsamic Korean fir grows slowly. The tree can grow up to 12 m in height, but only after many years. The evergreen fir grows only 5 cm per year. That is why you need to plant a fairly adult plant.
