The White Fir (Abies Concolor) is a medium
to large evergreen coniferous tree growing to 80 to 200 feet tall and with
a trunk diameter of up to 6.5 feet thick. It was originally native to the
mountains of western North America.
White Fir is widely planted as an ornamental
tree in large parks. Some consider the foliage to have an attractive
scent, and thus is sometimes used for Christmas decoration, including Christmas
trees.
White Fir wood is soft, knotty and not
very strong nor very resistant to parasites; it is used in small amounts
for paper making, packing crates and other cheap construction work.
The leaves are needle like, flattened,
1.0 to 2.5 inches long and 2.0 millimeters wide by 0.5 to 1.0 millimeters
thick, green to glaucous blue-green above, and with two glaucous blue-white
bands of stomata below, and slightly notched to bluntly pointed at the
tip.
The leaf arrangement is spiral on the shoot,
but with each leaf variably twisted at the base so they all lie in either
two more or less flat ranks on either side of the shoot, or upswept across
the top of the shoot but not below the shoot.
The cones are 2 to 5 inches long and 1.50
to 1.75 inches broad, green or purple ripening pale brown, with about 100
to 150 scales; the scale bracts are short, and hidden in the closed cone.
The winged seeds are released when the cones disintegrate at maturity about
6 months after pollination.
