Noble Fir: The Stately Evergreen of the Holidays

The Noble Fir (Abies procera) has long been celebrated as one of the most elegant and durable Christmas trees in America. With its sturdy branches, blue-green needles, and impressive size, the Noble Fir embodies the classic holiday tree—strong, fragrant, and timeless.

Roots in the Pacific Northwest

The Noble Fir is native to the Cascade and Coastal mountain ranges of the Pacific Northwest, thriving at elevations of 3,000–5,000 feet. Indigenous communities and early settlers admired the tree’s towering height and tough wood, which was once prized for shipbuilding and furniture. By the early 20th century, the Noble Fir began gaining recognition as a superior Christmas tree, and Oregon and Washington growers led its rise to national prominence.

Today, Oregon is the largest producer of Noble Firs, shipping millions of trees each year across the country. Their popularity has made them one of the top-selling Christmas tree species in the U.S.

What Makes Noble Firs Stand Out?

Several qualities distinguish the Noble Fir from other Christmas tree varieties:

• Sturdy, Layered Branches: Ideal for holding heavy ornaments and garlands.

• Blue-Green Needles: Short, upturned needles with a silvery cast give the tree a classic holiday shimmer.

• Strong Fragrance: A fresh, woodsy scent that fills the home.

• Excellent Longevity: Renowned for its ability to retain needles and freshness for weeks.

• Tall, Symmetrical Form: A naturally pyramidal shape that can reach impressive sizes—perfect for both small living rooms and grand displays.

These qualities make the Noble Fir not only a favorite for Christmas trees but also a leading choice for wreaths, garlands, and holiday greenery.

Popularity Across the Nation

While the Fraser Fir dominates in the East, the Noble Fir is king of the West Coast. Each year, millions of Noble Firs are harvested and shipped from Oregon and Washington, supplying households, businesses, and even large civic holiday displays across the country.

The Noble Fir’s reputation for strength and beauty has made it a consistent favorite among families who want a reliable, long-lasting tree with a truly classic look.
