5 Seeds Corkbark Fir Abies lasiocarpa Evergreen Conifer Tree

Corkbark Fir (Abies lasiocarpa) is a distinctive evergreen conifer valued for its appealing silvery-blue foliage and corky, textured bark that develops as the tree matures. This slow-growing fir forms a narrow, conical shape that works beautifully as a specimen tree in home landscapes, rock gardens, and mixed conifer plantings, offering year-round structure and color.
Grown primarily as an ornamental, the Corkbark Fir brings cool-toned texture to lawns, borders, and woodland gardens, and its dense branching provides cover for birds and wildlife. It prefers cooler climates and well-drained soil, growing steadily into a graceful, upright tree over time.
