Caucasian fir
Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani
The Caucasian fir, also known as Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani, is a majestic evergreen coniferous tree native to the Caucasus Mountains. It is best known for its tall stature reaching heights up to 90 feet tall, and dark green needles. It produces large cones that tend to droop from the branches and look a bit like giant Christmas baubles. This species is shade tolerant, fast-growing and very hardy, making it a great addition to gardens and landscapes. The Caucasian fir is drought resistant, wind tolerant, and tolerant of most soils, making it an ideal choice for a variety of terrain. Additionally, it is remarkably disease resistant, giving it a long life span. With its unique form, low maintenance, and stress resistance, the Caucasian fir is an amazing choice.

watering
Caucasian fir should be watered once a week. The amount of water should depend on the weather and size of the tree. In periods of extreme heat or drought, more frequent watering will be needed. On average, water the fir tree deeply so that the soil is soaked up to 8-12 inches deep. This can be accomplished by using a garden hose or a watering can with a gentle rainfall pattern. During this process, make sure to avoid overwatering as this can lead to root rot and other disease problems. In the winter months, water less often, but be sure to maintain the roots so that they are not allowed to dry out completely.
sunlight
Caucasian fir (Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani) prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day during the growing season, but avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day. During the winter months, it should receive indirect sunlight throughout the day. Avoid any exposure to prolonged direct sunlight, as this could damage the needles of the plant.
pruning
Caucasian Fir (Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani) should be pruned during the late winter or early spring when the plant is dormant. Before beginning pruning, inspect the tree for dead or diseased branches and remove them. The goal of pruning should be to encourage the development of a strong structure and evenly spaced branches. Light pruning should be done to keep the tree looking tidy, but moderate to heavy pruning should be avoided. Make sure to prune the branches back to a lateral branch or the main trunk, rather than leaving a stub. This will help the tree retain its natural shape and reduce the chance of infection or disease.
