Botanical nameAbies procera ‘Glauca’

Abies procera ‘Glauca’, also known as the noble fir 'Glauca', is a majestic conifer renowned for its dense and vibrant silvery-blue foliage, which gives it a striking presence in landscape designs. With a naturally pyramidal habit, it develops a slender and regular silhouette, ideal as an accent tree or a standalone specimen in large gardens. Its evergreen foliage, soft to the touch and richly colored, captures light all year round, creating a bright focal point, even in winter. Very hardy and well adapted to Quebec's climatic conditions, the noble fir ‘Glauca’ prefers deep, cool, and well-drained soil, in a sunny to partially shaded location. Thanks to its moderate growth, cold resistance, and structured appearance, Abies procera ‘Glauca’ is an elegant choice for sophisticated and sustainable landscaping projects.
