Comments: Concolor Fir offers distinctively soft foliage, especially those trees with bluish needles. This tree
makes a good substitute for the spruces. Concolor fir can take exposure
and salt spray, and will withstand heat and drought better
than most firs but will not tolerate "wet feet." As a Christmas tree,
Concolor Fir remains fresh and retains its
needles for several weeks if provided with water.
Cultivars:
'Candicans' - narrow, upright tree with blue needles
