perfect for full sun and loamy soil. grows about as fast, or faster than, red pine. branches all the way to the ground if given space. needles smell like tangerines (taste not as sweet). has a long taproot, so it is very drough tollerant and difficult to uproot in high winds. best fir for zones 5-7 but cold tollerant down to zone 3. better choice than some of the pines and spruces for landscape use due to dense form and extreme weather tolerance. will not like shale or heavy clay soil and does not like wet feet.

This beautiful tree grows on several San Diego County, California, peaks at around 6,000 feet elevation. It is the classic christmas tree, but of course, cannot be collected from our national forests or state parks.
Unfortunately, many fine specimens were burned in the fires of 2003.

White Fir (Abies concolor) is not at its best where the summer temperatures commonly range above 100 degrees F. It grows very slowly. It is called White Fir because of its white bark.
