The use of Fir Taxa in Planting Design

Fir is widely distributed in the mountainous regions of our country as a natural and very aesthetic plant owing to their forms, beauty of leaf characteristics and cones. They offer significant opportunities to the designer by single or group use in planting design of landscape architecture. Due to these features they are used intensively in parks and gardens in many countries of the world. Firs are used more as forest species in our country and are found in the green urban areas in rare cases. In this study we aim to determine the aesthetic and functional uses of fir taxa in planting design as well as encouraging the use in parks and gardens by particularly drawing attention to the natural fir of Turkey.
