Balsam Fir

Balsam Fir 

Abies balsamea | Zones 3-5 | Soil: Moist, Cool, Well-Drained

The Balsam Fir is an extremely popular choice for both personal and commercial Christmas tree production. This conifer has shiny soft green needles and shears very nicely. The Balsam Fir is a favorite for wreath makers, who love to use the fragrant green boughs in their work. This evergreen exhibits short needles which are 1/2 - 1" in length and cones which measure 2-4" in length. Pyramidal in shape, this symmetrical fir tree is quite ornamental. The Balsam Fir is also quite shade tolerant.

Bracted Balsam Fir

Bracted Balsam Fir 

Abies balsamea var phanerolepis | Zones 2-7 | Soil: Moist, Cool, Well-Drained

A medium-sized Fir growing around 50’ tall with blue-green needles.  Often used as a XMAS tree, but is also becoming increasingly popular in landscaping.  Very hardy – reaching all of the way up into the far northern zones.

Canaan Fir

Canaan Fir  

Abies balsamea | Zones 3-8 | Soil: Loamy, Sandy 

The Canaan Fir is a stately fir that boasts dense, dark green to bluish fragrant foliage. With excellent needle retention, it is a sought after choice for Christmas tree production.  While similar to the Fraser and Balsam Fir in appearance and growth habit, the Canaan Fir will grow in heavier soils as well as soil with a higher pH level. Avoid heavy wet clay. Fairly deer resistant. Drought tolerant once established.

Douglas Fir

Douglas Fir  SOLD OUT FOR 2024

Pseudotsuga Menziesii | Zones 4-6 | Soil: Widely Adaptable (Well-Drained) 

 Douglas Fir grow rapidly, and can reach heights of over 200 feet during a lifespan which can surpass 1,000 years. Douglas Fir feature beautiful soft gray-green to blue-green needles, which carry a very pleasant aroma when cut or crushed, or even when just walking among mature specimens.

 This is NOT a true Fir (it’s a member of the Pine family)

Fraser Fir

Fraser Fir 

Abies fraseri | Zones 4-7 | Soil: Well-Drained

The Fraser Fir is the Cadillac of Christmas trees, grown for both personal and commercial production. The branches on the Fraser Fir turn slightly upward and the tree exhibits a dark blue-green color with a silvery underside. Strong, well-spaced branches make the Fraser Fir great for decorating with heavy ornaments. Grows best in moist but well drained, fertile soil which is very acidic and somewhat protected from drying winds.

Fralsam Fir

Fralsam Fir (Fraser + Balsam Cross)   SOLD OUT FOR 2024

Abies fraseri | Zones 3-5 | Soil: Well-Drained 

 The Fralsam™ Fir is a hybrid cross developed by Weir Tree Farms and has been their top seller since it was rated "Best Overall" by the Wall Street Journal in November 2002. This hybrid incorporates the best characteristics of its parent trees, the Balsam and the Fraser, into one outstanding tree. This tree is late budding and misses the early spring frost and it is also resistant to a majority of diseases and insects.

Korean Fir

Korean Fir 

Abies koreana | Zones 5-7 | Soil: Moist, Well-Drained

The Korean Fir is one of the most unique Firs available.    It has short, shiny needle tops accompanied by a silver underside.   The cones are a vibrant purple color that makes them stand out. Avoid wet and heavy clay soils, but the Korean Fir does handle more poorly drained soil than most Firs.

Noble Fir

Noble Fir  SOLD OUT FOR 2024 (AND MOST LIKELY 2025)

Abies procera| Zones 5-7 | Soil: Well-Drained

The Noble Fir is the largest native Fir in North America – often growing 80-100’ tall.  A great food source for chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays, and many other bird species.  Note:   A large grower took all of these we have for 2024 and most likely 2025 as well.

Nordmann Fir

Nordmann Fir  SOLD OUT FOR 2024

Abies nordmanniana | Zones 4-9 | Soil: Well-Drained

Abies concolor | Zones 3-7 | Soil: Moist, Sandy, Well-Drained
