Korean fir (Abies koreana)

The shoots are green-grey at first, maturing pinkish-grey, with scattered fine pubescence. The cones are 4 to 7 cm long and 1.5 to 2 cm broad, dark purple-blue before maturity; the scale bracts are long, green or yellow, and emerge between the scales in the closed cone. The winged seeds are released when the cones disintegrate at maturity about 5–6 months after pollination.
