	'''Korean Fir''' (''Abies koreana''; 구상나무, ''Gusang namu'' in [[Korean language\|Korean]]) is a [[fir]] native to the higher [[mountain]]s 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.
