Design with this plant

Overview

White Fir, or Abies concolor, is prized for its uniform, pyramidal shape, reaching a mature height of 40-70 feet and a spread of 20-30 feet. Its attractive blue-green needles, which are 2 to 3 inches long, emit a pleasant citrus aroma when crushed. It prefers full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Hardy in zones 3-7, this evergreen is tolerant of drought and air pollution, making it versatile for urban landscapes.
