Abies arizonica (Cork Fir) 
This little-known and seldom-seen evergreen is really one of the 
most striking and beautiful of firs. The selected type which we grow 
comes from a very limited area in high altitudes in the northern part 
of Arizona. It makes a rather slender tree, reaching considerable height 
when fully matured. Foliage is of a decidedly silvery blue, easily mis¬ 
taken for the Colorado Blue Spruce. The under sides of the needles are 
extremely whitish and light blue in color. The bark of the tree is most 
unusual, as it is almost pure cork and the older trees are of a light, 
creamy color.

Abies concolor (White Fir) 
In his book “Hardy Evergreens,” Professor Schrepfer describes 
the Concolor Fir as follows: “This is the most satisfactory of the firs 
for general cultivation. The leaves are long and blue-green when young. 
It forms a compact, symmetrical tree, somewhat resembling the Blue 
Spruce. Older trees form narrow pyramids. It is the best fir for the 
Middle West, as it withstands heat and drought better than the others.” 
The name “Concolor” given this tree by Dr. Englemann, signifies even 
color. Both the upper and under sides of the needles are grayish-blue in 
contrast to the usual characteristics of firs. We are careful to obtain 
our seed supply from Northern Colorado, which produces trees of the 
best type.
