It occurs at altitudes of 900-2,200 m on mountains with a rainfall of over 1,000 mm. It is a large evergreen coniferous tree growing to 60 m tall and with a trunk diameter of up to 2 m. In the Western Caucasus Reserve, some specimens have been reported to be 78 m and even 85 m tall 2 , the tallest trees in Europe. The leaves are needle-like, flattened, 1.8-3.5 cm long and 2 mm wide by 0.5 mm thick, glossy dark green above, and with two blue-white bands of stomata below. The tip of the leaf is usually blunt, often slightly notched at the tip, but can be pointed, particularly on strong-growing shoots on young trees. The cones are 10-20 cm long and 4-5 cm broad, with about 150-200 scales, each scale with an exserted bract and two winged seeds; they disintegrate when mature to release the seeds.

Native to the Caucasus mountains and northeastern Turkey west to about 36°E. Shoots often pubescent hairy. Turkish Fir Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani syn. A. bornmuelleriana, A. equi-trojani.
