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. Its attractive, dark green foliage
gives it a very sturdy appearance while its relatively open habit
allows it to have a graceful outline. 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 grows well in a natural, sandy-loamy soil; it
should be avoided when planting in heavy clay soil.
'Nana' - A dense, compact, spreading plant that will reach a height
and spread of about 3 feet. Check out more trees from the
