Cilician Fir (Abies Cilicicia)

Plants from the Caucasus region grow really well in this part of Ohio and Cilician fir is just one example. The only problem growing this fir is seed collection because firs generally keep their cones near their terminal height. They reside in Section 110 in a well-established colony where they are closer to the century mark in age. Their native range includes Lebanon, Syria and Turkey where they are listed as Near Threatened by International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This state champion measures at 70-inches circumference, 96-feet tall and spreading 24-feet and rated at 172-points.
