Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Abies magnifica, the Red Fir or Silvertip fir, is a western North American fir, native to the mountains of southwest Oregon and California in the United States. It is a high altitude tree, typically occurring at 1,400-2,700 metres (4,600-8,900 ft) altitude, though only rarely reaching tree line. The name Red Fir derives from the bark color of old trees.Abies magnifica is a large evergreen tree typically up to 40-60 metres (130-200 ft) tall and 2 metres (6.6 ft) trunk diameter, rarely to 76.5 metres (251 ft) tall and 3 metres (9.8 ft) diameter, with a narrow conic crown. The bark on young trees is smooth, grey, and with resin blisters, becoming orange-red, rough and fissured on old trees. The leaves are needle-like, 2-3.5 cm long, glaucous blue-green above and below with strong stomatal bands, and an acute tip. They are arranged spirally on the shoot, but twisted slightly s-shaped to be upcurved above the shoot.
