Abies alba

Abies alba is a large conifer that is common in Central Europe and some parts of Eastern and Southern Europe. It is a very tall tree that forms large trunks with little taper. A. alba is very shade tolerant and can form dense stands or grow in the understory of other tree species. The wood is lightly colors, has no resin ducts and is of medium density. It is currently used mainly for construction lumber, plywood and other purposes.
White fir harbours a moderately rich fauna of herbivorous insects. While many insects associated with fir are shared with other conifers such as Picea abies, a few others are specialized to feeding on Abies species only.
