$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Abies × koreocarpa ‘Tannja’ is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a compact, rounded habit and short, glossy needles that display soft blue-green tones. The needles curve slightly upward to reveal pale undersides, giving the plant a full, layered look. Branching is dense and even, creating a tidy mound that develops slowly over time. In spring, small pollen cones and developing seed cones appear among the new growth.

This selection was introduced from German breeding work focused on hardy, slow-growing conifers. ‘Tannja’ is valued for its steady growth, neat form, and year-round color, making it well suited to rock gardens, foundation plantings, and mixed conifer groupings where a compact evergreen accent is desired.
