This spruce belongs to the silver firs <em>(Abies)<\/em> and is native to the regions around the Black Sea. The Nordmann fir can grow to a tree of over 60 meters with a trunk circumference of 2 meters. The needles of this silver fir are flat, between two and three and a half cm long.<br>\nThe Nordmann fir was brought to Europe by Finnish biologist Alexander von Nordmann. This silver fir is widely used as a Christ<wbr><\/wbr>mas tree because its needles do not fall out as quickly as those of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/norway-spruce\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"[vc_row][vc_column width=&quot;2\/3&quot;][vc_column_text el_id=&quot;topentry&quot; el_class=&quot;topentry&quot;]Norway spruce, conifer of the pine family, which can reach over fifty meters in height and centuries old.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&quot;1\/3&quot;][vc_column_text el_id=&quot;entrytxt&quot; el_class=&quot;entrytxt&quot;]Also known as: 'Christmas tree' European spruce[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=&quot;middle&quot; css=&quot;.vc_custom_1627123481876{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #ccffff !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}&quot; el_id=&quot;mobile&quot;][vc_column offset=&quot;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm&quot;][vc_column_text css=&quot;.vc_custom_1627123409680{padding: 0px !important;border: 0px initial !important;}&quot; el_id=&quot;mobiel&quot;]&hellip;\" class=\"encyclopedia\">Norway spruce<\/a> <em>(Picea abies)<\/em>. The Nordmann fir is more expensive than the Nor<wbr><\/wbr>way spruce because it grows much more slowly than the Nor<wbr><\/wbr>way spruce.<br>\nThe Nordmann fir has a poor ability to withstand drought. Even as a pot grown Christ<wbr><\/wbr>mas tree, the tree needs water: in a heated living room, the Christ<wbr><\/wbr>mas tree easily evaporates more than a liter of water per day. So that must be replenished to prevent the tree from drying out and dropping its needles.<br>\nThe Nordmann fir is less suitable for replanting after Christmas due to its long taproot: the taproot is cut off during harvesting, causing the tree to lose most of its roots. The Fraser fir <em>(Abies fraseri)<\/em> has broad roots and is therefore better suited for replanting. Make a large planting hole, add some compost and plant the tree in such a way that the root ball is just below ground level. Choose a spot where the Fraser fir has some space, it can grow quite large. In times of drought (also in winter!), water generously.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Bugs&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Tree is yellowing, starting at the top, later the Nordmann spruce drops its needles: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/six-toothed-bark-beetle\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Six toothed bark beetle, this 2 mm small beetle belongs to the bark beetles.
