The Nordmann Fir is native to the high mountains to the west and east of the Black Sea, in Turkey, Georgia, Russian Caucasus and northern parts of Armenia. The species is named after Finnish zoologist Alexander von Nordmann (1803-1866)
It is a powerful, large growing forest tree attaining up to 60m (197 ft) tall and with a trunk diameter of up to 2 metres. In the Western Caucasus Reserve in the Russian Federation close to the border with Georgia, some specimens have been reported to be 78 metres and even 85 metres tall and are thought to be the tallest trees in Europe.
It is one of the most important species grown for Christmas trees, being favoured for its attractive foliage, with needles that are not sharp, and do not drop readily when the tree dries out. Annually around 8-9 million Nordmann Fir Christmas trees are produced in Denmark.
It is also a popular ornamental tree in parks and large gardens, its dense formal shape, dependable dark green foliage and wide cultural adaptability make the Nordmann Fir a stately lawn specimen. Branches are densely clad with flattened, glossy dark green needles these have two white bands underneath. Specimen Trees grown in an open position are typically branched to the ground.

GERMINATION - Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. Although we do everything possible to get seeds to you in the best possible condition these factors are totally outside of our control and once you receive the seeds its over to you. Consequently, we can take no responsibility for the suitability to your local conditions of any variety offered, the indicative cultivation advice provided or ultimately the varieties performance. As such you should seek local advice to carefully ensure your local conditions and the time of season are appropriate to the variety purchased. Many plants will germinate better with the help of Ga3 which is widely available on Ebay and elsewhere.
DORMANCY - Many tree, shrub and conifer seeds and some perennial seeds have a natural period of dormancy. This is a natural process which ensures the seeds do not germinate till conditions suit, usually in the spring. The natural dormancy of the seed can be broken by a period of stratification. This will be explained in the instructions supplied with the seed. This may require some patience but you will be rewarded with lots of plants at minimal cost. It is possible to create a box, yew or beech hedge for just a few pounds!
