THE Balsam Fir
About the Balsam Fir :
The Balsam Fir, 'Abies balsamea', exhibits a
relatively dense, dark-green, pyramidal crown with a
slender spire-like tip. The scientific name "balsamea"
is an ancient word for the balsam tree, so named
because of the many resinous blisters found in the
bark. Balsam fir and Fraser fir have many similar
characteristics.
The species thrives in cooler climates and demands
abundant soil moisture and a humid atmosphere. A
large percentage of Christmas trees are Balsam Firs.
