White fir, also called concolor fir, has long, soft, bluish-green needles that give the tree a slightly silvery look. It has one of the nicest scents of any Christmas tree, often described as citrusy or like orange peel.
It holds its needles well indoors, so it’s a good pick if you like to set up your tree early. The branches are moderately sturdy and handle most ornaments.
