Abies magnifica is a large evergreen tree typically up to 40–60 metres (130–200 ft) tall and 2 m (6 ft 7 in) trunk diameter, rarely to 76.5 m (251 ft) tall and 3 m (9 ft 10 in) diameter, with a narrow conic crown. The bark on young trees is smooth, grey, and has resin blisters
An example species with shiny green leaves is A. alba, and an example species with matt waxy leaves is A. concolor. The tips of leaves are usually more or less notched (as in A. firma ), but sometimes rounded or dull (as in A. concolor , A. magnifica ) or sharp and prickly (as in A. bracteata , A. cephalonica , A. holophylla ).

The tree is a large evergreen conifer growing to 30–50 metres (98–164 feet), exceptionally 72 m (236 ft) tall, [2] [4] and with a trunk diameter of up to 1.2 m (4 ft), exceptionally 2.3 m (7 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft). The bark on younger trees is light grey, thin and covered with resin blisters. [5] On older trees, it darkens and develops scales and ...
