This "California Red Fir" forms a tall and perfectly symmetrical shape with distinctive red-hued bark and regal, tiered branches.
Unlike the flat needles of most firs, Abies magnifica has needles that are four-sided and curved upward at the base,
The needles have a citrus smell when crushed.
Although it can be used as a potted tree for quite a few years, eventually it needs to be planted in a large parkland-like setting.
