Product Information

Fraser Fir is sometimes treated as a subspecies of Balsam Fir, though plant taxonomy authorities report otherwise. Conifers are also a fast-growing type of tree that grow in many countries in the Northern Hemisphere. Many conifer species are cold hardy and can withstand freezing conditions. Other types of pine and fir trees are better suited to warmer climates. Similar to deciduous trees, spruces, pines, and fir trees lose their needle-like leaves. However, this happens gradually, and due to this, conifers keep their foliage and green color all year long. Like almost everything else in life, learning the difference between pine, spruce, and fir requires an investment of time and energy.

This mostly comes down to protection against the elements and adequate watering through the winter. Water Noble fir, Fraser fir, and Balsam fir are very popular Christmas trees, generally considered to be the best trees for this purpose. Many are also very decorative garden trees. Their seed cones hang downwards rather than upright, and they have three-pointed bracts that look like snake tongues.

How tall does a Fir tree grow?

The bark of young fir trees is usually smooth and gray. As the tree matures the bark becomes ridged. Different Types of Fir Trees With Their Image and Common Name The needles are blue-green in color with blunt tips. The length of the needle varies from 1 to 3.5 cms, and they are arranged spirally around the stem. What about the difference between a fir and spruce tree? Again, needle types are the key to identification. Spruce needles have four sides and they roll easily between your fingers. Fir needles are flat and if they don’t roll easily, chances are it is a fir tree, not a pine or spruce. Identifying Spruce, Pine or Fir Based on their Needles

Average Size at Maturity: 40 – 75 ft tall (inland) or 70 – 330 ft tall (coastal); 20 – 40 ft spread

A little close-up inspection can reveal the cause. If you’re seeing your Doug fir declining, I’d love to share my knowledge and experience (and a little bit of science) with you. There’s every chance we can get it looking healthy again. The Himalayan Fir has the most extended needle measuring 9cms long. The needles are very soft, dark green, and glossy. The Siberian Fir has leaves that are noticeably lighter green than most other firs. Like some firs, they are twisted and directed upwards from the shoot rather than in two horizontal rows. Nordmann fir trees are also used for rough timber to construct indoor wooden frames. These are also an important type of tree for its pulp to make paper. The easiest way to tell a pine tree apart from a spruce or fir tree is by looking at their needles.

The trees are found throughout much of North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, occurring in higher elevations and mountains over most of the range. An oft-neglected element of watering is mulch application. Practically all trees should have a layer of mulch, such as organic bark chippings, several feet wide around the tree base. This mimics the forest floor, allowing water to permeate and suppressing weeds and grass that compete for moisture. The foliage forms a conical shape at the top of the tree. Each branch has twigs with short green to dark-green needles that grow in 2 rows. These give off a mild turpentine-like fragrance when crushed. Crown lifting: Lifting the crown by removing lower branches will allow access for mowing, mulching and enjoying the shade cast by the tree.Depending on the tree involved and the intended effect there are several tree pruning strategies. They are listed here from those requiring the least work, to the most work.
