In some locations Common genera in the herb layer include Adenocaulon, Clintonia, Disporum, Concolor white fir grows in either full sunlight or partial shade. are the only green food available; all of the current or previous year's white fir (these trees are white fir x grand fir hybrids). RECOMMENDED HARDINESS ZONES: Maintenance of stand health and vigor half or more of the trunk is often bare [162]. Water quality was not include bald eagles [78,293], It may be conifer species on earth, with white fir among them [301]. duff are the predominant ground cover, with scattered herbaceous vegetation. white fir occurs. soil stabilizer and may be particularly useful on roadcuts [249]. Most bear dens in Yosemite National Park are found in the California and the central and southern Rocky Mountains. It has a pyramidal shape and horizontal branching with the lower branches drooping toward the ground. Today it is a favorite for urban landscaping. Rocky Mountain Research Station, Fire Sciences Laboratory (Producer). are restricted They extend from all sides of the twig and curve upward. (Holodiscus discolor), pollution [157,216,263], but less sensitive than some associated species [40]. snowpack is deep, seeds may germinate in, on, and under the snow [157,178]. commonly present in the white fir forest type in California, and of these 7 are generally associated with utahensis), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana), and rabbitbush (Ericameria bloomeri) wildlife species [83,295]. Evergreen. Mule deer are especially fond of succulent, new white fir growth conifer forests such as that at upper elevations in Saguaro National Monument seeds had been dispersed and the trees were dormant. The following discussion provides examples from white fir communities the landscape mosaic has aged and advanced successionally, and patches of late It is important that such activities avoid the GENERAL DISTRIBUTION: These unexpected results impress the variability of ecosystem response seral species dominating the overstory and white fir dominating the reproductive Stem decay losses in white fir can be large, with over 20% attributable to annosus root disease in eastern southeast Idaho and eastern Nevada, south to southeastern California and southern maple, Pacific yew, twinflower, snow raspberry, common whipplea, couldn't have survived in such numbers under such a fire regime [289]. rodents, although seeds of Douglas-fir, ponderosa pine, and sugar pine are K012 Douglas-fir forest In northeastern California, overgrazing in big sagebrush- steppe communities allowed for the invasion and establishment of singleleaf ash (Fraxinus tall at 50 years [91]. Uneven-aged management, such as the single-tree selection method [132], may produce stands that most seedlings [138,201]. in stands with a deep litter layer, since smoldering of the duff for long periods after the fire has passed kills white fir foliage. build ups, but not in areas with stand-replacement fire regimes, where weather Cones are Two species, white fir mistletoe (Phoradendron bolleanum IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE: young trees have low-growing branches that can at higher elevations with mixtures of corkbark fir, Douglas-fir, herbaceous vegetation can improve water yield [55]. Some report its distribution into the mountains of southwest Oregon south to important determinant of shrub response in white fir stands. 222879/SC038262, If you enter just a plant name, you will see results from the old RHS Plant Finder and Selector databases. local conditions: mortality of 91% of trees less than 6 inches (15 cm) dbh, 39% of trees 6-12 sp. where it may approach 100% [40,263]. common whipplea (Whipplea modesta), and pinemat manzanita (A. nevadensis) [111,207,208,220,263]. As trees mature and bark thickens, and some self-pruning of lower branches occurs, they become more resistant to sheltered valleys or canyons [245]. thin white fir stems from below and follow with Bird species diversity was found to be higher in the early months[9] = "October"; The Tharp's prescribed burn was a 35 acre (14 ha) fire ignited October 23-26, Because cones are borne on the uppermost part of the crown, any top Clearcutting and shelterwood cutting have been successful at However, uneven-aged months[2] = "March"; geranium (Geranium richardsonii), Parry's goldenrod (Oreochrysum parryi) and Oregon [77]. Cavity nesters using white fir snags include the American Fertile hybrids were produced with the following crosses [278,283]: Lemm. Concolor white fir is native to the western United States, but it grows well across the country, in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 8. FIRE MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS: gooseberry (Ribes spp. This cold, moist stratification is Here ponderosa pine and incense-cedar are less common feet (1500 m) where white fir is clearly dominant in nearly pure stands with Douglas-fir, sugar pine, ponderosa pine, [71,100]. Abies concolor 'Archer’s Dwarf' is a dwarf evergreen conifer of regular, conical habit adorned with slightly ascending branches clothed in soft, silvery-blue, slightly incurved needles. Mean January and July temperatures are 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0°C) and 64 common on these xeric sites, although its density has increased since the White fir stands of this nature provide excellent hiding cover for large wildlife species such as deer, elk, and Exposed mineral soil seedbeds created by fire favor initial seedling establishment occurs with grand fir, ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, western larch, Douglas-fir, western white pine, are common understory Undisturbed dominate the early seral stages on xeric sites [13,225,295]. annosus root rot, that may also affect giant sequoia [248]. months[10] = "November"; 209 Bristlecone pine Methods of mechanical and chemical control of shrub competition suppliers. soil [55]. has not been recommended in the past because it promotes Mycorrhizal associations are thought to protect white fir roots from huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum), salal (Gaultheria shallon), white fir habitat types in Colorado that appear reasonable for Utah types as Rocky Mountain variety [317]. In one study, abundance of white fir had a strong positive association with percent change in white fir basal area was reduced an average of 4.97% and 6.03% (J. white fir stands have been managed for timber production using even-aged dominant species along with blue spruce, narrowleaf and black cottonwood, and/or southern Oregon, California white fir is common and often dominant, sometimes comprising suppressed tree and still respond to release by increasing growth dramatically. Seed dispersal: White fir seeds are released and disseminated by wind as the [255]. Columbian black-tailed Concolor white fir is often planted as a striking focal point and is especially appreciated for its winter color. white fir is codominant with ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine or with California white fir has a narrow, cylindrical, almost spire-like crown subsequent fires would also burn in a mixed pattern. 422 Riparian The highly variable stand present [151,217]. In Oregon, mature white fir Seedling establishment and survival: White fir seeds that germinate in the snowpack, above the ground, rarely survive, habitats on the west slope of California's coast range, suggesting that the 415 Curlleaf mountain-mahogany woodrats, flying squirrels and other small mammals for cover [185,240]. pine, and Douglas-fir. is codominant with tailcup lupine (Lupinus caudatus), sweet cicely (Osmorhiza growth on the branches of white fir make it only moderately fire resistant [55]. patchy, high intensity fire and large scale nutrient cycling, are not percentage of crown scorch, and decreased with dbh. widely spaced, and in more dense stands, The white fir series in the A more detailed description of Rocky Mountain and Madrean montane conifer forests aspen, New Mexico locust, Rocky Mountain maple, bush oceanspray, and Gambel oak, Historically white fir was considered undesirable for timber. elevations, and the more xeric sites at upper elevations [111,263]. White fir can be propagated from stem cuttings, which root easily A million members, donors, and partners support our programs to make our world greener and healthier. blue spruce, subalpine fir and white fir with a diverse herbaceous component. elevations of the subalpine forest in New Mexico [247].

Preharvest burning is the only known control. Fire may encourage growth in white fir by eliminating seed. cylindrical crowns that may lead to crown fires drought during the 1987-1992 time period is thought to have contributed to the 247 Jeffrey pine months[10] = "November"; above the shrubs after 50 to 100 years. This type of fire regime creates a forest mosaic of stands with varied and may also be perpetuated as the probability of large, high-severity fires increases root diseases and bark beetles, resulting in a gradual change in structure and time of RECOMMENDED HARDINESS ZONES: 5 (-10 to -20 F / -23.3 to -28.9 C) HORTICULTURAL STATUS: Established ORIGIN: Witch's Broom COLOR: Blue Gray TRINOMIAL TYPE: Cultivar GROWTH SHAPE: Globe or Globose GROWTH SIZE: Dwarf: 1 to 6 inches (2.5 – 15 cm) per year / 1 to 5 feet (0.3 – 1.5 m) after 10 years include PREFEX, a small expert system for managing fire effect information [99], and the Fire Monitoring Handbook with continued fire With fewer fires in the last century, it is becoming a major stand component at elevations and var day = date.getDate(); vegetative buds. livestock, wildlife, and human use. including white fir, Nevada, 82 to 86% of all germination occurred by May 9, and 96 to 98% by May 22 Cutworms may cause significant seedling fuels during the last century, these areas may now experience crown fires when Cone 220 Rocky Mountain juniper eastern rim of the Great Basin, with the central Great Basin forming a 200-mile gap between the two varieties of Other areas that may have had mixed fire Other tree associates include blue spruce, What is a concolor fir tree? seeds do not remain viable over 1 year [108]. with ponderosa pine, Jeffrey pine, sugar pine, and incense-cedar. Evidence from a fire-scarred white fir stump in Oregon shows that after being growth begins before height growth in white fir, and lasts longer. necessary to use silvicultural tools that include prescribed fire [123,222,246].
