Picea Pungsanensis Var. Intercedens

Korean fir, scientifically known as Picea pungsanensis var. intercedens, is a rare and distinctive conifer native to the mountainous regions of South Korea. This evergreen tree is valued for its unique appearance and ecological significance in its natural habitat. Its needle-like leaves and conical shape make it a striking addition to forest ecosystems. The species thrives in cool, moist climates and is often found in higher elevations where competition from other plants is minimal. Due to habitat loss and climate change, conservation efforts are increasingly important to protect this rare botanical treasure.
