Zone 3-5

A narrow pyramidal growing to a height of 50 to 75 feet; spread 20 to 25 feet. Short, soft, bright green needles are 1/2 to 1 1/4 inches in length. Grows best in full sun, but is more shade tolerant than other firs. Prefers moist, well drained, acidic soil. Adapts well to cooler climates.

Prized for its fragrance as a cut tree. Extensively used for Christmas tree ornamentals. Needs very little shearing.
