It was only after finding the big Needle Fir that I backtracked to get comparison images of this plant. I still managed to not get a picture of the whole plant. Oh well... It has cool needles that are sharper than most, - especially on young plants - and these closeups show just why. Abies firma - the Japanese or Momi Fir - is "...the highest and most stately fir in Japan..." according to Krüssmann. |
