Notes
'Glauca' noble fir (Abies procera 'Glauca') is a tree for low maintenance landscapes and as an accent. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows in a pyramidal shape at a moderate pace. The evergreen needles give year-round color, and birds visit the tree.
Pairs well with European white birch, Pallida Japanese witch hazel, and Firepower nandina.
