Momi Fir – 1-Year-Old Live Plug Plant (Abies firma)

Grow a beautiful evergreen conifer with this one-year-old Momi Fir plug plant. Native to Japan, Momi Fir is especially valued for its ability to tolerate heat and humidity better than many other fir species, making it an interesting choice for gardeners in warmer climates.

This attractive evergreen develops a pyramidal shape with layered branches and glossy, dark green needles. It can be grown as a landscape tree, Christmas tree, bonsai specimen, or part of a woodland planting.

Why Choose Momi Fir?
