Description

"Purple Nature" is a Korean Fir (Abies korean); native to the higher mountains of South Korea, including Jeju-do island. It grows at altitudes of 1,000-1,900 m in temperate rain forest with high rainfall and cool, humid summers, and heavy winter snowfall.
The cones are 4-7 cm long and 1.5-2 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.
Korean Fir is a very popular ornamental plant in gardens in cool climates.

I have looked for this evergreen, but can't find any information. Do you have more details, such as the species and where the tree is located? The closest I can find is this.....

but it is a fir, not a pine.
Thanks.
