Caucasian fir is perhaps the most beautiful conifer of our climate. No wonder that it is also a commercial bestseller as a Christmas tree. Its short needles densely cover the branches; they are deep green and very glossy, with silvery undersides. Fresh growths are intensely bright green.

The growth is dense, narrow, and conical, and very slow so believe us that every centimeter has its value. In mid summer it makes large cones that are pale reddish-brown and change to gray-brown later.

Firs like moist but well drained, acid soil, and sunny location with some shade from the hottest sun, if possible. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
