Questions on Abies koreana
Asked on 28 Sep, 2008 0 replies
i have two such trees in similar pots but one has started to turn yellow- the other appears fine, what might be the problem with the former, the root system seems fine to me upon inspection, i amthinking of putting this into my garden instead but i have chalky clay soil andi think it prefers slightly acidic which is why i have kept it in a pit up til now - possible to slightly bonsai it to a small size permanently- the pot is about 12 inces deep and 12 inches diameter so not that small

No, I won't laugh, once again I think it is the silvery undersides to the needles that might be giving it that effect. All Abies have a silver reverse to their needles.

Do you have to prune it to keep that shape? Or is it naturally clump forming?

I looked up witches' booms to better understand what you mean with this abies.
I guess it is a bit like mistletoe, but sometimes the 'fungus' produces especially desirable results which can become a new type of plant.
Have I got that right? If not, please correct me. Thanks
It's very interesting.

Members' notes...
We grew this tree in the midlands and it reached 25 ft ,it was magnificent, with beautiful violet blue cones, eventually it became too large and had to be taken out, so my husband sowed some seeds and we have a bonsai version of it now. Great plant for a large garden, grew well on sandy soil.

You are going to laugh now but that looks like it needs to be stroked! It looks almost velvety
