The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Buy This If
- You want fir texture.
- Your site stays evenly moist.
- You have open planting space.
Skip This If
- The site bakes dry.
- You need a narrow evergreen.
- You want instant screening.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | White Fir gives a clean evergreen shape and soft blue-gray color without looking stiff. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It grows steadily in the right site, but it is not the plant to buy for quick height. |
| Maintenance | B | Once sited well, it needs little shaping, but poor soil moisture will create problems. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | D | This is a real tree, not a tight-space evergreen for corners or small beds. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can contribute to screening with space and time, but it is better as a specimen than a hedge. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend White Fir for cooler, evenly moist sites where the planting has room and the homeowner wants color without using a sharper spruce.

Only if you have room and patience; it is better as a specimen.
