Blue Noble Fir – Abies procera glauca (Abies nobilis) 240 Seeds | Fragrant Evergreen Conifer Classic Christmas Tree | Wind Firm | Blue Needles | Bonsai Friendly

Blue Noble Fir (Abies procera glauca), also known as Noble Fir or Abies nobilis, is one of the most stately and wind-firm evergreen trees of the Pacific Northwest. Native to the Cascade and Coast Ranges of Washington, Oregon, and northern California, this high-elevation species is admired for its strong branching, symmetrical form, and striking blue-green needles.

In cultivation, Noble Fir typically reaches 50–100 feet tall, though in native forests it can exceed 250 feet. Its narrow, slightly tapered cylindrical shape gives it a classic conifer silhouette. The flattened bluish needles (about 1 inch long) curve at the base and are often upswept, creating a layered, elegant appearance.

Large upright cones (4–10 inches long) mature from purple to olive-brown and disintegrate in fall to release winged seeds. Young bark is smooth and gray with resin blisters, becoming reddish-brown and furrowed with age. Exceptionally fragrant and highly wind tolerant, Blue Noble Fir is a premium Christmas tree species and a stunning long-term landscape investment.
