Plant Description

The Abies alba, commonly known as the European silver fir, is a majestic evergreen tree native to the mountainous regions of Europe. This Abies alba tree stands tall with a conical shape and dense, silvery-green needles that shimmer in sunlight. People often admire its graceful form and smooth, gray bark that adds to its ornamental appeal in natural and cultivated landscapes.

The Abies alba belongs to the unique group of deciduous conifers, which shed older needles in autumn while retaining most foliage, giving it a soft and lush appearance year-round. This silver fir features upright cones with scales that open to release seeds, contributing to its ecological role in native forests. Gardeners appreciate its resilience and the subtle fragrance that this white fir emits, enriching outdoor spaces with fresh, woody scents.
