This charming conifer is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, contemporary planting schemes, rockeries, alpine gardens, containers and areas where a full-sized tree would be unsuitable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e‘Oberon’ remains naturally compact, developing a dense, rounded to broadly conical habit over many years. It typically grows slowly, making it ideal for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance evergreen that provides year-round structure without becoming overpowering. Its tidy growth habit means it requires little, if any, pruning to maintain its shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe foliage consists of short, glossy green needles that are arranged neatly along the branches, creating a soft yet refined appearance. The undersides of the needles have a silvery-white colouring, giving the plant a subtle shimmering effect when viewed from different angles. It may produce attractive upright cones when mature, adding further seasonal interest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbies koreana ‘Oberon’ prefers a sheltered position in full sun or partial shade and thrives in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It performs particularly well in slightly acidic to neutral soils but will tolerate a range of garden conditions provided drainage is good. Avoid planting in areas that become waterlogged during winter. A mulch around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and protect the roots, especially during dry summer periods.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis hardy evergreen is well suited to the UK climate and requires minimal care once established. It is generally resistant to pests and diseases and benefits from protection from strong, drying winds, particularly when young. Its compact size and year-round interest make it a versatile choice for small gardens, mixed borders or as an elegant specimen plant in a decorative container.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arundel Arboretum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57170971459962,"sku":"ABIE-OBER-BS03-8","price":105.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9130\/4688\/files\/ca56149e-65d3-44e8-8623-64196dcde521.jpg?v=1786970044","url":"https:\/\/www.arundelarboretum.co.uk\/products\/abies-koreana-oberon-korean-fir-bushy-height-20-30cm-8lt","provider":"Arundel Arboretum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
