Blue Noble Fir – Abies procera glauca (Abies nobilis) 30 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 impressive and stately evergreen trees of the Pacific Northwest. Native to the Cascade and Coast Ranges of Washington, Oregon, and northern California, this high-elevation fir is prized for its strong structure, symmetrical form, and beautiful blue-green foliage.

In cultivation, Noble Fir typically grows 50–100 feet tall, though in native mountain forests it can exceed 250 feet. It features a narrow, tapered crown and flattened bluish needles about 1 inch long. The needles often curve at the base, resembling a small hockey stick, and are spirally arranged but usually sweep upward along the branches.

Large upright cones (4–10 inches long) sit prominently near the top of the tree. They mature from purple to olive-brown and disintegrate in fall to release winged seeds. The bark begins smooth and gray with resin blisters, later becoming reddish-brown and deeply furrowed with age.

Highly wind tolerant and fragrant, Blue Noble Fir is one of the most popular premium Christmas tree species. It is also excellent as a specimen tree in large landscapes and makes a striking bonsai subject.
