Grand Fir vs Subalpine Fir
Abies grandis
Abies lasiocarpa
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Grand Fir is a large, coniferous evergreen native to the Pacific Northwest of North America. Closely related to the White Fir, this tree has glossy green, needle-like leaves with notched ends. A tall, majestic tree, Grand Fir grows best in drier climates.
We currently have no plans to produce the Grand Fir. However, you will find that we are producing a number of quality alternatives.
Subalpine Fir is pyramidal, coniferous tree often found growing naturally in areas with higher elevation. A lover of cool and moist soils, this adaptable tree bears unique and attractive cones that take on a purplish-black color and grow vertically.
Subalpine Fir is often used in naturalization projects, however, this variety will act as a beautiful specimen tree on its own. Subalpine Fir has also been used to create screens and windbreaks, but keep in mind this slow grower will take some time before reaching a height that is suitable for wind protection.
