Plant Care
The Korean Fir Silberperle is relatively low-maintenance once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release evergreen fertilizer. This variety rarely requires pruning but remove any dead or damaged branches as needed.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
