About

Picea koraiensis, commonly known as Korean spruce, jong-bi-na-mu (Korean: 종비나무), hong pi yun shan (Chinese: 红皮云杉), or jel koreiskaya (Russian: ель корейская), is a species of spruce native to China, Russia, and North Korea.

It is a medium-sized evergreen tree growing to 30 m tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 0.8 m. The shoots are orange-brown, glabrous or with scattered pubescence. The leaves are needle-like, 12–22 mm long, rhombic in cross-section, dark bluish-green with conspicuous stomatal lines. The cones are cylindric-conic, 4–8 cm long and 2 cm broad, maturing pale brown 5–7 months after pollination, and have stiff, smoothly rounded scales.
