Plant Profile: Abies lasiocarpa

This tree is medium to large in size, characterized by a slender crown and dense, short branches that droop gracefully. It thrives best in a cool, moist environment, particularly at higher elevations in the Pacific Northwest. The wood produced by this species is soft, white, and prone to rapid decay. It plays a crucial role in establishing forests in challenging and disturbed areas, offering shelter that aids in landscape rehabilitation and watershed protection. Found in forests located in regions with high water yield across the western United States, this tree is vital for effective water management and conservation efforts.

For optimal results, bare root transplanting is advised.
