and concolor smells like citrus when crushed ...

either or ... but the pungens will have a more classic form ..

many concolors tend to be a little less formal ...

insure you get a candicans ... the bluest of the blue.. and a big upside is the sapphire blue cones at age ... OK you talked me into it.. you dont need another pungens.. go for the concolor

Concolor does well here. Yahara Nursery south of Madison had two very healthy specimens about 40-50 feet tall (and they were just getting started). I've only been growing them for about 6-7 years (dwarfs and minis) and I've not had any trouble with them. Nor have I had any trouble with lasiocarpa.

Or... personally pick out the most beautiful seedling at a nursery.

Is a Concolor dense enough to make a good screen? What about the lower branches as the tree matures. Do you have enough room for them as they get longer, or will you have to cut them off?
I have only grown one (Abies concolor,'Candicans')and it never was dense enough to make a good screen. That might be my climate, or possibly not enough sun where it was placed.
