Steve, thanks for your article, but I think you have confused the local names for Noble Fir. Here in Oregon, Red Fir typically refers to young Douglas fir, especially east of the Cascades. White Fir usually refers to either Grand Fir or White Fir, and is never used to decribe Noble Fir to my knowledge.
