White fir has upright cones on blue-gray-green foliage with white stripes. It is the most tolerant of all the firs with respect to heat and pollution. It is also the only fir suited for city use. It reaches 50'-75' tall and 30' wide at a moderate rate. Bark is smooth, white gray in color. White Fir needs well draining soil and medium amount of water. Foliage is beautiful all year round. Deer love it too!
