Colorado Concolor White Fir

The Colorado White Fir is a spectacular large conifer especially suited for colder parts of the country. It is hardy to minus 40 degrees, and loves cold winters and cool summers. It grows into a dramatic spire-like tree, with a strong central trunk and horizontal branching. It usually grows to around 40 feet tall in gardens, although it can eventually grow over 100 feet tall. However, it is narrow in profile, and rarely exceeds 20 feet in width. The long needles are an elegant pale blue-green color, and the large cones are dramatically purple in winter. Plant this wonderful tree as a specimen in a larger lawn, as boundary markers on your property line, or as part of a collection of beautiful trees. It makes the perfect Christmas tree too, always perfectly proportioned and symmetrical.

• Dramatic specimen conifer
• Beautiful soft blue-green needles
• Large barrel-shaped purple cones
• Thrives in the coldest places
• Perfect outdoor Christmas tree

Plant the Colorado White Fir in well-drained soil – it loves sandy, gravelly soils, as long as they are not also dry. Mature trees have some resistance to drought, but this tree grows best with a good supply of water. It does not grow well in clay soils. It has no significant pests and diseases, and thrives even with winter temperatures down to minus 40 degrees. If you live in a cold area and are tired of the same old blue spruce in every garden, plant this beautiful fir tree for something different and extremely attractive. The perfect lawn specimen for your garden.
