Discover the elegance of Abies concolor 'Swift's Silver,' commonly known as Swift’s Silver White Fir, a remarkable evergreen that transforms your landscape with its stunning soft, silvery-blue needles and refined pyramidal form. Ideal for small gardens or as a captivating focal point, this resilient white fir offers both beauty and practicality with its adaptability to various well-drained soils and exceptional drought tolerance. Swift's Silver white fir stands out for its compact yet striking presence, featuring a harmonious blend of soft green to deep blue hues housed in flat needles ranging from 1.5 to 2 inches long. As a hardy tree, it withstands dryness and higher temperatures better than most firs, making it an outstanding choice for low-maintenance gardens. Once established, it grows rapidly, reaching heights of 50-75 feet with a spread of 15-20 feet, and produces cones up to 5 inches in length. Its crushed foliage releases a delightful lemony scent, adding aromatic appeal to your garden or festive Christmas decor. A native of the Pacific Northwest, it's perfect for Hardiness Zones 4-7. Bring timeless beauty to your landscape with the graceful Swift's Silver White Fir.
