Balsam Fir

Abies balsamea

All burlap and basket trees are 450+ lbs and will require heavy equipment to move.

Balsam fir is native to the far northern parts of the United States and into Canada. This evergreen tree has flat, dark green needles with a strong balsam scent. Balsam fir makes a striking figure in the landscape with its narrowly-pyramidal shape, but it does best in cooler northern climates.
