Nordmann Fir

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.

About Ploërdut 5 forest

Located in Brittany, our Ploërdut forest is made up of four individual plots that we acquired gradually over a period of time.
Ploërdut 5 has a small existing forest, which we have preserved. The rest of the area including meadows and a former agricultura land had already beeing cleared by the former owner. Here we will plant Beech, Nordmann Fir, Sessile Oak, Scots pine, Western Red Ceder, Giant Redwood, Sitka spruce and Monterey Pine with the aim of achieving a mixed forest with continuous cover.
