Abies grandis, commonly known as the grand fir, is a species of evergreen tree native to the western United States and Canada. It typically grows in moist, mountainous regions and can reach heights of up to 250 feet. The tree is characterized by its tall, straight trunk and soft, flat needles that are dark green on top and silvery underneath. The grand fir produces cylindrical cones that are 3 to 5 inches long and hang downward from the branches. This tree is valued for its timber, which is used in construction and paper production. Additionally, Abies grandis plays a crucial role in its ecosystem, providing habitat and food for various wildlife species.
