Noble Fir
The Noble Fir, often called the "Cadillac" of all Christmas trees, stays fresh longer in the home because of its ability to retain water and is easy to decorate because of the spacing between the branches.
The Noble’s needles are roughly 4-sided, over 1 inch long, bluish-green but appearing silver because of 2 white stomata on the underside and 1-2 rows on the upper surface the needles are generally twisted upward so that the lowers surface of branches are exposed.
Nobles are native to the Siskiyou mountains of northern California and the cascade and coastal ranges of Oregon and Washington.
