Canaan Fir vs Subalpine Fir
Abies balsamea phanerolepis
Abies lasiocarpa
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Canaan Fir, which is closely related to Balsam Fir, is known for its open-growing patterns and strong branches.
Canaan Fir is highly adaptable to many soil conditions and thrives in both shaded areas or direct sunlight. It is commonly used for Christmas tree farming or reforestation.
This rugged landscape tree remains green year-round.
Subalpine Fir is pyramidal, coniferous tree often found growing naturally in areas with higher elevation. A lover of cool and moist soils, this adaptable tree bears unique and attractive cones that take on a purplish-black color and grow vertically.
Subalpine Fir is often used in naturalization projects, however, this variety will act as a beautiful specimen tree on its own. Subalpine Fir has also been used to create screens and windbreaks, but keep in mind this slow grower will take some time before reaching a height that is suitable for wind protection.
