Wikipedia Abstract

Manchurian fir (Abies holophylla, Chinese: 杉松), also called needle fir, is a species of fir native to mountainous regions of northern Korea, southern Ussuriland, and China in the provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. They spread on two sides, but not flat like for example in silver fir. Usually they more or less rise up forming with the shoot a V-shape empty compartment above it. Unlike in silver fir, the leaves here are sharp and prickly, without any indentation at the top. Manchurian fir is sometimes, but not commonly, used as an ornamental plant.
