'''Nikko Fir''' (''Abies homolepis'') is a [[fir]] native to the [[mountain]]s of [[Japan]]. It grows at altitudes of 700-2,200 m, often in [[temperate rain forest]] with high rainfall and cool, humid summers, and heavy winter snowfall. It is a medium-sized to large [[evergreen]] [[Pinophyta|coniferous]] [[tree]] growing to 30-40 m tall with a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 m. The [[leaf|leaves]] are needle-like, flattened, 1.5-3.5 cm long and 2-3 mm wide by 0.5 mm thick, glossy green above, and with two white bands of [[stomata]] below, and rounded or slightly notched at the tip. The leaf arrangement is spiral on the shoot, but with each leaf variably twisted at the base so they lie partially flattened to either side of and above the shoot, with few below the shoot. The shoots are yellow-buff, glabrous, and often conspicuously grooved. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are 6-12 cm long and 3-4 cm broad, purple-blue before maturity; the scale bracts are short, and hidden in the closed cone. The winged [[seed]]s are released when the cones disintegrate at maturity about 6–7 months after pollination. Abies homolepis - Nikko Fir. Native to Japan. Broad, dense and formal fir up to 80 feet in height. Densely arranged needles which point forward. Well suited to warm and moist areas. :''More information about this species can be found on the [[Abies|genus page]].'' ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Varieties== ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 File:Abis homolepis0.jpg File:Abis homolepis1.jpg File:Abies homolepis SZ108.png File:Abies homolepis2.jpg </gallery> ==References== *Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture, L.H.
