Abies grandis grand fir; giant fir Species Record #: gw1000013 [See Page for Genus Abies]     [List All Plants in this Genus]		Botanical Information: Genus: Abies Family: Pinaceae Author: (Dougl. ex D. Don) Lindl. Synonyms: A. excelsior What do these terms mean?
by Sam_Bucus Remarks: Abies grandis has, at least here in Holland, a PR-problem. Everyone here knows the Eastern American giants like Redwood and Douglas but hardly anyone knows the Giant Fir which can also reach over 80 meters, which is not a bit less impressive, easy to grow and not picky about conditions. Hail to the Grand Fir! If only my garden was big enough.     by Sam_Bucus
