Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis)

Sakhalin fir (Abies sachalinensis) is a tall evergreen tree native to the southeastern Russian Far East and parts of Japan. It features dense, flat needles that are soft to the touch and aromatic. The tree typically grows up to 30 meters (roughly 98 feet) and produces conical cones that stand upright before releasing seeds. Adapted to cooler climates, it thrives in mountainous and forested regions, playing a key role in its ecosystem. Its timber is valued for construction and paper production, though it is less widely cultivated than other fir species.
