Is a concolor fir (white fir) common in central Indiana?
Still a young population in central Indiana, since most went in over the past 10-20 years as blue spruce replacements and are sold at garden centers under the "concolor" name. That means tree services here see planting-shock and wet-feet decline calls far more often than removals.
Why that matters for tree work
This is the conifer extension services now recommend in place of Colorado blue spruce, so it is what people are planting — and Morton is explicit that you must not plant white fir in heavy clay soil. Central Indiana is heavy clay, so the species that solves the blue spruce disease problem walks straight into a drainage problem, and most calls come on a fir sitting in a clay lawn or a bermed bed that holds water.
