A. grandis ?? A better photo are nessessary for a good identification.

A. grandis

I made more photos this morning after a 40 mile round trip! A. grandis is probably correct?

Crushed needles from abies grandis smell like orange, try that next time you visit the tree. Also, it has needles in just one plane, like a flat layer and not all the way around the twig

I did crush some needles but didn't notice the "citrus" odor......there's another plant about 1/4 mile away that has all two ranked needles and has the orange smell...I should have got a photo of that one?

Yes, Abies grandis.

These are in a high elevation area? It's hard for me to believe ungrafted Abies grandis would survive at < 2500' in GA.

I have (1) growing at around 1500', a few others > 3500' ...no grafts!

I've seen them growing naturally here just a few blocks from the saltwater beach. I have a few naturally occurring on my place at 750 ft.

This isn't Georgia tho. :-)

They are showing some potential of being an invasive species at 300 ft. on my place, but that's even further from Georgia.
