White Fir
Currently unavailable
This fir variety is a sizable one, sporting long and thick needles that are nearly round in shape. 'Candicans' is particularly renowned for its stunningly vivid blue-gray needles, maintaining their exceptional blue hue year-round. With its elongated needles, it acquires an airy appearance, somewhat reminiscent of certain pine trees. Its growth pattern forms a cone shape, expanding at a rate of 6-12 inches each year. Moreover, this tall, slender conifer exhibits an attractive silvery-blue color, coupled with layered branches that create a well-proportioned and vertical silhouette. It's also noteworthy for its resistance to drought and heat.
