The '''Noble Fir''' (''Abies procera'') is a western [[North America]]n [[fir]], native to the [[Cascade Range]] and [[Coast Range]] [[mountain]]s of extreme northwest [[California]] and western [[Oregon]] and [[Washington]] in the [[United States]]. [[Image:Abies procera cone.jpg|thumb|left|Cone]] It is a large [[evergreen]] [[tree]] typically up to 40-70 m (130-230 ft.) tall and 2 m (6.5 ft.) trunk diameter, rarely to 90 m (295 ft.) tall and 2.7 m (8.9 ft.) diameter<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.conifers.org/pi/ab/procera.htm | title = Gymnosperm Database - ''Abies procera'' | accessdate= 2008-06-28}}</ref>, with a narrow conic crown. The [[bark]] on young trees is smooth, grey, and with [[resin]] blisters, becoming red-brown, rough and fissured on old trees. The [[leaf|leaves]] are needle-like, 1-3.5 cm long, glaucous blue-green above and below with strong [[stomata]]l bands, and a blunt to notched tip. They are arranged spirally on the shoot, but twisted slightly s-shaped to be upcurved above the shoot. The [[conifer cone|cones]] are erect, 11-22 cm long, with the purple scales almost completely hidden by the long exserted yellow-green bract scales; ripening brown and disintegrating to release the winged [[seed]]s in fall. It is a high altitude tree, typically occurring at 300-1,500 m altitude, only rarely reaching [[tree line]]. It is very closely related to [[Red Fir]] (''Abies magnifica''), which replaces it further southeast in southernmost Oregon and California, being best distinguished by the leaves having a groove along the midrib on the upper side; Red Fir does not show this. Red Fir also tends to have the leaves less closely packed, with the shoot bark visible between the leaves, whereas the shoot is largely hidden in Noble Fir. Red Fir cones also mostly have shorter bracts, except in ''Abies magnifica'' var. ''shastensis''; this [[variety (biology)|variety]] is considered by some [[botanist]]s to be a [[Hybrid (biology)|hybrid]] between Noble Fir and Red Fir. :''More information about this species can be found on the [[Abies|genus page]].'' ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Varieties== *There is a var. glauca in the trade. ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:2007-04-07Abies procera glauca01.jpg File:Abies procera boom.jpg|As Christmas tree File:Abies procera JPG1a.jpg|Trunk File:Abies procera foliage PAN 2.jpg Image:Upload.png| photo </gallery> ==References==  *American Horticultural Society: A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants, by Christopher Brickell, Judith D.
