Vigorous, densely foliaged fir. Under cultivation reaches 30-50 feet tall, 20 feet wide. Needles are dark green and shiny, .25 to 1.5 inches long, having whitish bands underneath, and densely covering the branches. Does well in warm and dry summer western US and humid mid-Atlantic and southeastern states, but does best with regular water. Can be kept long-term in containers.
{{Inc|
100-150 ft.: trunk 4-6 ft. in diam.: lvs. flat, crowded, dark green and very lustrous above, silvery white below: cones oblong- cylindrical or ellipsoidal, dark orange-brown, 4-6 in. long; bracts as long as or slightly longer than their scales. Mts. south and southeast of the Black Sea, and western spurs of the Caucasus. Often hardy; one of the most desirable firs in the middle states.}}
