About Ploërdut 5 forest
The Nordmann fir (Abies nordmanniana) or Caucasian fir is a conifer native to Crimea and was first described by the Finnish botanist Alexander von Nordmann in the 19th century. It is found on mountainous areas between 1000 and 2000 m above sea level. Its resistance to frost and drought makes it a preferred species for reforestation. It is also used for the production of Christmas trees and has the advantage of losing its thorns less quickly than spruce when exposed to the heat of fireplaces. Its white, knotty wood is used as construction wood and in the production of pulp.
