Zone 7 b in North Carolina, where I am - they grow magnificently. We have 3 ( they came w9ith the house ). Keep straggly branches trimmed, bur they are at last 25 ft tall.
Have had an arborist suggest they should be trimmed.
I think not. He called my Fir tree a Hemlock!
Nope.
As long as they are happy reaching for the sun, they shall be fine.

- ours begin to bloom in August, so these are from last year -
