Email this page to a friendColorado White Fir tree

A mountain-side species from the hot dry regions of Southern California, Utah, Colorado and NW Mexico. In Britain, since its introduction in the nineteenth century, it has only been used as an amenity tree. Young plants in particular exhibit very distinctive glaucous grey foliage. A succession of planting, say at 10 year intervals, maintains this striking foliage effect, and the neat conical juvenile outline close to eye level. A high yielding timber subspecies (subsp. lowiana), with which true Abies concolor has always been confused, is from further north and lacks such strikingly coloured foliage.

Size: 50' to 75' (15m to 23m) tall by 20' to 30' (6m to 9m) wide, but can reach over 100' (30m) tall
Environment: Tolerant of most climates and city conditions. Prefers a deep, well-drained soil with adequate moisture, but less fussy about soil moisture than other Abies sp. Full sun.
Key Features: Corky thick bark.
