Alpine fir is a very slow growing evergreen, eventually reaching 50 or more feet tall, with a 10 to 15 foot spread. Bluish green needles that are about 1 to 11/2 inches long. It has thick, corky creamy white bark. Not very heat tolerant, it is probably best suited to the east bench area and in the canyons.
This is a lovely tree, but it struggles in our low-elevation valley, where hot summers and inadequate winter snow cause great stress. Best suited to higher elevations; perhaps the east bench areas. Though it is a Utah native, it is not particularly drought tolerant, as its range is in the higher elevations. Grow in full to part sun, with north or northwest exposure. Like many evergreens, fir look rather odd when "limbed-up" so plant where its low-sweeping branches have room and are an asset.
