Kohout’s Ice Breaker Korean fir is a tiny, decorative tree with a highly unusual growth habit. Its green needles curl upwards around the stems, revealing snow-white undersides that make it look like the tree is covered in icy ringlets. Its unusual needles and small size make Kohout’s Ice Breaker a unique prize in the nursery world, perfect as a bright accent in a small space.Ice Breaker only grows 1″ to 3″ a year, reaching 1′ × 1.5′ in 10 years. It starts as a mounded, bun-shaped plant, and as it grows, it develops a central leader and a tight, pyramidal form. Its beautiful green and white, ringlet-shaped needles hold their color through the winter. And since it is a true fir, its cones sit upright on the small branches. It will thrive in full sun or dappled shade in various soils, like loam, sand, or clay, if they are amended with organic matter, are well-draining, and are slightly acidic. Kohout’s Ice Breaker grows best in the cooler areas of its 5-8 hardiness zones, although it can withstand the heat and humidity of zones 7 and 8 if it has enough moisture and some shade to protect it from the hot summer sun. Water the tree when planting and keep it moist, especially during dry periods. A layer of pine mulch or bark will help maintain the soil moisture throughout the year and keep the roots cool. It will not need pruning since it is compact and slow-growing, and it is deer-resistant and nearly pest- and disease-free. Truly, a low-maintenance tree!
