Fresh Concolor (White) Fir Christmas Trees
The Concolor Fir is the tree that surprises people. Brush the needles and you’ll smell a light hint of citrus. Step back and you’ll see a soft, silvery blue-green color unlike any other tree on the lot.
What Is a Concolor Fir?
A Concolor Fir (Abies concolor), also called a White Fir, is an evergreen native to the mountains of the western United States, including Colorado. It’s known for long, soft, blue-green needles with a silvery tone and a light citrus scent when the needles are brushed. It holds its needles well, and it’s one of the most distinctive Christmas trees you can bring home.
Why Families Choose a Concolor Fir
Most Christmas trees smell like pine. A Concolor Fir smells like pine with a twist of orange. That fresh, bright scent is the first thing families notice, and it’s what brings many of them back for another one the next year.
Its needles are long, soft and gentle to the touch, with a silvery blue-green color that glows under white lights. If you want a tree that looks and smells a little different from the classic, the Concolor Fir is it.

Keeping Your Concolor Fir Fresh in Colorado

- 1Get it into water fast. Set up your tree in water within a few hours of getting it home.
- 2Never let the stand run dry. A fresh tree drinks a lot in its first few days. Check the stand every morning.
- 3Keep it away from heat. Place it away from heater vents, fireplaces and sunny windows.
- 4Add a little humidity. A humidifier nearby helps hold in the scent in Colorado's dry winter air.
