I was looking and marking a few at 6600" last weekend and saw this tree. The green needles are very short and stiff but I would not call them poky like spruce. I really like the tree and would look for a smaller one for collecting. The pictures are of one that had a 14-16 trunk.
I would also like any help in how to ID sub-alpine fir. There are some of them up there, but I know about nothing when it comes to collecting or how they might do at 3500" which is the altitude of Baker City, Or where I live. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Peter
