Description
The White Fir is also known as the Concolor Fir. Its native range extends from the mountainous regions of the Pacific coast to central Colorado, and from central Oregon and southeastern Idaho to northern Mexico. It can grow as tall as 40-55 m and have a trunk diameter of 165 cm. The record specimen can be found in the central Sierra Nevada of California and is 58.5 m tall and measures 271 cm in DBH. Associated forest cover may include grand fir, Pacific madrone, tan oak, incense-cedar, ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, sugar pine, Jeffrey pine, Douglas Fir and California black oak. White fir is a general, all-purpose, construction-grade wood used extensively for solid construction framing and plywood. A significant portion of the Christmas trees used in California are young white fir. (Source: Silvics of North America)
