Description
Noble Fir is a popular Christmas tree. The wood is used for general structural purposes and paper manufacture. | This species is aptly named, for it is probably the largest of all Abies in terms of diameter, height and wood volume. It was first found by fabled botanist-explorer David Douglas, growing in mountains on the north side of the Columbia River Gorge, where exceptional stands can still be found. It loves windy sites because it is one of the most windfirm trees, swaying grandly in even the most howling gales of winter.
