Abies concolor
Choose White Fir if you want a refined evergreen with soft blue-gray color in a cool, well-drained spot. The tradeoff: it is not forgiving in hot, dry, or stressed locations.
| 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. |
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.

Usually not well; pick a tougher spruce or pine for dry exposure.
Only if you have room and patience; it is better as a specimen.
Very little, unless you are correcting damage or a stray branch.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
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!
