Discover the majestic Abies pindrow, commonly known as Pindrow Fir, Silver Fir, or West Himalayan Fir, a breathtaking conifer native to the Western Himalayas. This evergreen giant soars to heights of 200 feet with a narrow conical crown and graceful, pendulous branches. Its smooth bark and leafy, needle-like foliage create a striking visual appeal. The bright green needles feature a unique dual-tone as they turn gray-green underneath.

The tree's cylindrical cones add to its allure, standing erect at 4.5-7 in long, initially dark purple and maturing to a rich brown. Hardy to USDA Zone 8, the Pindrow Fir thrives in cooler, moister climates at altitudes of 7,900–12,100 feet, alongside species like Cedrus deodara and Picea smithiana. Known for its adaptability in timber and ornamental value in large gardens, this fir demands high humidity and ample rainfall for optimal growth. Its Nepali name, from which 'pindrow' is derived, reflects its cultural and ecological significance. Embrace the beauty and grandeur of the Pindrow Fir in your landscape or garden.
