Abies concolor ‘Blue Cloak’

Abies concolor ‘Blue Cloak’ originated as a superior selection of white fir, chosen for its intense blue foliage and strong, symmetrical habit. Selected in the American Midwest for its color consistency and landscape durability, this cultivar combines the species’ toughness and adaptability with a distinctly ornamental presence. It grows at a moderate rate, typically adding 6–8″ per year, forming a dense, broadly pyramidal tree with well-spaced, layered branching. The long, softly curved needles display a rich, powdery blue cast on all sides, creating a uniform, “cloaked” appearance that holds its color beautifully throughout the seasons.
