Abies sachalinensis (Sakhalin

Kurils (Russia), and also in northern Hokkaido (Japan).[2]
The first discovery by a European was by
Honshū, who initially thought it to be a variety of Abies veitchii.[3] Abies nephrolepis(khingan fir) is known to be the closest relative. Which is on the mainland just west of the range of Sakhalin fir.[4]

Description

Grows to 30m tall with Girths up to 100 cm. The crown pyramidal, but tend to flatten out as they grow to old age. Branches are long and slender during the life time.[4] As you move down to more northern parts of its habitat they tend to grow shorter.[5] hardiness zone of 5 (cold limit is between -23.3 Degree C and -28.8 Degree C)[4]

Distribution

Been seen at sea level up to 1,650m in Different areas, but on Sakhalin Island it sits at elevations of 800-1,100m in pure stands or in mixed forests with

Kalopanax septemlobus(castor aralia), and mangnolia hypoleuca.[4]

Habitat

Cool Summers, Mild winters, and precipitation around 1,500mm. Half or more falls during the winter.[6] soils tend to be well drained and moist.[4] Does not do well in water logged soil. very shade tolerant when young, growth is slower in dense shade. It likes slightly acidic soils at a PH of around 5.[7]

Uses

Mainly logged for the production of wood pulp for the paper industry. It is a used for cultivations in gardens and arboreta in Russia, Northern Europe, England, and USA[1] The Abies Sachalinesis is used for dying/tanning, Essential oils, Fibers, Timber, and Medicine. It is also made into products such as Boxes, Crates, Pallets, Posts, Stakes, Fences, wall paneling, and carpentry (exterior/interior).[8] It is an important plantation species in Hokkaido, while the other Abies species are not used for plantation[9]

Barks/Needles

Bark is greyish white, as it grows older the bark starts to get rough to the touch.[2] Needles cover the shoots above and on the sides similar to the Abies veitchii, Needle length is .5 to 1.4 inches long (1.2-3.5 cm) and .04 to .05 inches wide (1-1.2mm). Soft in texture with a glossy fresh green color.[2]

Seedlings/Cones

Seed cones are cylindric, from 2-3.2 inches long, and 1-1.2 inches wide. When young colors of the cones are brown to dark purple, as they mature they turn blue-black to black-brown.[5]

Root system

Forms surface root systems because of the moist soils. When soils are very saturated the roots form a well developed tap root[10]

Threats

There have been no threats to this species. Old growth stands see the most pressure from logging in parts outside of Japan[1]
