'''Momi Fir''' (''Abies firma'') is a species of [[fir]] native to central and southern [[Japan]], growing at low to moderate altitudes of 50-1600 m. It is a medium-sized to large [[evergreen]] [[Pinophyta|coniferous]] [[tree]] growing to 50 m tall and 2 m in trunk diameter, with a broad conical crown of straight branches rising at an angle of about 20° above horizontal. The [[bark]] is scaly grey-brown, with resin blisters on young trees. The shoots are grooved, buff to grey-brown, glabrous or finely pubescent. The [[leaf|leaves]] ("needles") are flattened, 2-5 cm long and 2-4 mm broad, spread at nearly right angles from the shoot; the apex is sharp, bifid (double-pointed) on the leaves of young trees, single-pointed on mature trees. They are bright green above, and greyish-green below with two broad [[stoma]]tal bands. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are 7-15 cm long by 3-5 cm wide, green maturing yellow-brown, tapering to a 2-3 cm broad bluntly rounded apex. The scale bracts are exserted 3-6 mm, triangular. The [[seed]]s are 7-9 mm long with a wedge-shaped wing 1.5 cm long, are released after the cones disintegrate at maturity in October. Momi Fir is sometimes, but not commonly, used as an [[ornamental tree]], particularly in warm temperate regions with hot, humid summers such as the southeastern [[United States]]. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Abies firma2.jpg| photo 1 File:Abies firma3.jpg| photo 2 File:Abies firma1.jpg| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
