Tree & Shrub
Concolor Fir
Abies concolor
Also called the white fir, it was designated the Great Plants® 2003 Tree of the Year by the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Its silvery-blue needles average two to three inches long and are surprisingly soft to the touch. The tree itself forms a strongly pyramidal silhouette with delicate texture. It is native to the Rocky Mountains, southern Cascades and Sierras of the western United States. Those harsh environments means the concolor fir is well suited for Midwestern climates, possessing cold hardiness, moderate drought tolerance and a lack of pest problems.
In urban conditions, it will reach 50 feet tall and 30 feet wide. It grows at a slow to moderate rate and should be planted in full sun. An important requirement to remember is this fir will not be happy in a soggy, poorly drained site, so avoid heavy clay soils or areas intensely irrigated by lawn sprinklers.
