A bold blue evergreen with a full, classic fir silhouette, made to be the anchor that everything else leans on
FEATURES:
- Intense blue-bluegreen needles that hold strong color through the seasons
- Full, conical fir form for classic evergreen presence and instant structure
- Soft needles that give a refined texture compared to pricklier evergreens
- Excellent specimen tree for lawns, corners, and wide foundation beds
- Cold-hardy and adaptable when planted in well-drained soil
- Creates a striking winter focal point when the landscape needs shape and color most
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because the size of the tree - does not fit in a box.
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Blue reads best when it has something warm nearby. Use mulch in a natural brown tone, add copper planters, or choose warm-blooming shrubs to bring out the blue needles. And if you’re planting multiple evergreens, mix needle colors and textures, it makes the screen feel layered, not like a flat wall.

Why plant Blue Cloak Concolor Fir?
This is evergreen drama, but the tasteful kind. Blue Cloak Concolor Fir brings a strong blue needle color and a classic, full fir shape that feels instantly timeless. It’s the tree that anchors a view, frames a home, or gives a property that “established landscape” feeling without needing a whole row of plantings to do the job. The needles are softer than many conifers, giving it a refined texture that plays beautifully with stone, brick, and warm-toned plant palettes.
In winter, it becomes a centerpiece. In summer, it’s the steady evergreen backbone. It’s the kind of tree that makes you think, “Yep, that was the right choice,” every time you pull into the driveway.
How to use Blue Cloak Concolor Fir in the landscape?
Plant it as a specimen evergreen where it has room to develop a full silhouette, in an open lawn, at the corner of a property, or as a visual anchor in a large foundation bed. It works beautifully as a long-term privacy and windbreak element when used in a staggered evergreen planting, adding depth and color variation among greener conifers. For a designer look, pair it with upright evergreens for vertical contrast and with low mounded shrubs at the base to keep the trunk area clean and the form visible. Give it space away from buildings and overhead lines so it can mature into its natural, classic shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
This fir does not have showy blooms. It produces cones rather than flowers, and the main ornamental features are its bold blue needles and classic evergreen form.
Plant in full sun with well-drained soil and water deeply during the first growing season. Once established, it’s fairly drought tolerant, but deep watering during prolonged dry periods helps keep growth strong and foliage looking its best. Avoid consistently wet soils.
Prune minimally. If you need to remove dead or damaged branches, do so in late winter to early spring. Avoid heavy pruning so the tree can maintain its naturally full, conical silhouette.
