Growth: Slow
Light: Full sun to part shade; benefits from afternoon shade in hot climates
Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil; poor tolerance for heavy, wet clay
Central Missouri: Marginal; Korean fir is a cool-climate conifer that often struggles with central Missouri's summer heat, humidity, and clay soils, so it needs excellent drainage and a sheltered site to succeed here
