Full sun, cool, moist soils. Is at least as tolerant, if not more so, than most firs grown in the Delaware Valley. Good specimen tree where a formal but smaller specimen is needed. Globose, red-brown in color and slightly resinous. Young stems tan-brown to yellowish, sparsely pubescent.
Plants are quite prolific and flower at a young age.
A plant with cones is rather attractive. This information is made available through a joint effort of the Departments of Food and Resource Economics and Plant and Soil Sciences College of Agricultural Sciences University of Delaware.
