🌳Tree of the Month for December 2025

It’s time for the December Tree of the Month! For December, we’re highlighting one of my favorite evergreens: Abies concolor, commonly known as white fir.

Abies concolor is a needled evergreen native to the mountain slopes of the western United States and Mexico, including portions of the Cascades and Sierras from Oregon to southern California, as well as the Rockies from southern Idaho to Arizona and New Mexico. In its native habitat—typically at elevations of 3,000–9,000 feet—white fir can reach impressive heights of 80–130 feet. In midwestern and urban landscapes, it generally matures at 40–70 feet tall with a 20–30 foot canopy spread.
