Greek Fir
Abies cephalonica (Greek Fir) is a large evergreen conifer of conical habit adorned with spreading, erect branches on mature trees. Sharp and stiff, the needles are glossy dark green with two blue-white bands beneath. The seed cones, 4-8 in. long (10-20 cm), are brown when ripe, and disintegrate when mature to release the seeds. The bark is gray-brown, becoming furrowed with age. Fast-growing, Greek Fir is noted for its hardiness, drought-tolerance, and insect-resistance.
