Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani

equi-trojani, synonym Abies bornmuelleriana,[1] the Turkish fir is a rare, coniferous evergreen tree native to northwest Turkey.

[4] On the back of its foliage, the Turkish fir has a silvery hue, exposed as a result of the upward growth habit of its needles.

This characteristic makes the tree, along with its pleasant fragrance, a common ornamental.

It has dense, dark green upswept needles 2.5 to 3 cm (1 to 1.2 inches) long.

[2] Its native range is in northwestern Turkey, including the western Pontic Mountains south of the Black Sea, and Uludağ and other mountains southeast of the Sea of Marmara.
