Balsam Fir vs Black Hills SpruceAbies balsamea Picea glauca var. densata SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Balsam Fir - best known as a "Christmas tree" - doesn't just look great in living rooms; it's a terrific tree for your yard too! Black Hills Spruce is a subspecies of White Spruce native to the Black Hills of South Dakota. It has a strongly conical form, slower growth rate and denser foliage than typical white spruce, making it preferable as a specimen tree for smaller suburban lawns. It also responds well to pruning, and can be used as a hedge or even bonsai. BALSAM FIR QUICK FACTSBLACK HILLS SPRUCE QUICK FACTS
