Abies balsamea--Balsam Fir
Hardiness Zones: 3 to 6
Height: 60 ft Spread: 20 ft Form: pyramidal
Type: narrow-leaved evergreen tree
Annual Growth Rate: 12-18 inches
Comments: A tall, narrow pyramid until old age. Dark green foliage
gives it a very solid appearance. It can be either used as a beautiful
accent in the landscape, or a very effective screening tree. Balsam Fir will not grow well on hot, dry
sites, but thrives in temperate, moist conditions such as found in
some parts of the
Genesee County area. It prefers a natural, sandy-loamy soil over heavy
clays.
'Nana' - A dense, compact, spreading plant that will reach a height
and spread of about 3 feet. Check out more trees from the
