The Noble Fir (Abies procera) is a western North American fir, native to the Cascade Range and Coast Range mountains of extreme northwest California and western Oregon and Washington in the United States. It is a large evergreen tree typically up to 40-70 meter (130-230 feet) tall and 2 meter (6.5 feet) trunk diameter, rarely to 90 meter (295 feet) tall and 2.7 meter (8.9 feet) diameter, with a narrow conic crown. The bark on young trees is smooth, grey, and with resin blisters, becoming red-brown, rough and fissured on old trees. The leaves are needle-like, 1-3.5 centimeter long, waxy pale blue-green and a blunt to notched tip. They are arranged spirally on the shoot, but twisted slightly s-shaped to be upcurved above the shoot. The cones are erect, 11-22 centimeter long, with the Purple scales almost completely hidden by the long yellow-green leaf scales; ripening brown and disintegrating to release the winged seeds in fall.
