The Balsam Fir is a stunning medium-sized conifer well suited for growing in areas of the country where winters are the coldest. It is hardy to temperatures reaching -40 degrees F and where summers are cool and conditions are not warm and humid. Those living in the coolest portions of USDA zone 6 will have the best success growing this magnificent tree. If you would like to add an outdoor Christmas tree to your property that makes a fabulous specimen, then look no further because a Balsam Fir fits the bill.

  • Spectacular specimen conifer
  • Lustrous dark-green needles
  • Cylindrical purple seed cones
  • Thrives in the coldest locations
  • Perfect outdoor Christmas tree
  • Great value to wildlife

The needled evergreen grows up to 70 feet tall at maturity with a width of around 25 feet. The Balsam Fir is long-lived and grows slowly, adding an additional 12 inches or less each year to its height. The aromatic conifer develops a narrow and symmetrical spire-shaped, dense crown. In addition, the resinous branches are covered in 1-inch, flat needles that are shiny and dark-green on top, with silvery bottoms marked with two white or gray bands.
