White Fir (Concolor Fir)
Siberian Larch

White Fir is an attractive, cold hardy tree that is known for its excellent adaptation to difficult sites. Also a favorite among Christmas tree growers, this tree has high needle retention, dense foliage, and a beautiful pyramidal shape.

You'll love the silver blue-green color that pops on a winter landscape. Try planting in your front yard as a stunning specimen or ornamental tree.

Siberian Larch is a large, cold hardy conifer. Like the Tamarack, its needles turn golden yellow and drop in the fall, and it is able to handle saturated soils.

If you are looking for a long-lived tree for your large property or shelterbelt with quite wet soil, this is the tree for you.

This variety is often used on the south side of a shelterbelt to let sunlight in during the winter and to provide protection or shading during the summer.
