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.
