White Fir (Concolor Fir)
Tulip Poplar

White Fir is an attractive, cold hardy tree that is known for its excellent adaptation to difficult sites. Also a favorite among Christmas tree growers, this tree has high needle retention, dense foliage, and a beautiful pyramidal shape.

You'll love the silver blue-green color that pops on a winter landscape. Try planting in your front yard as a stunning specimen or ornamental tree.

Tulip Poplar is the perfect shade tree for wide open spaces. It has a shallow and extensive root system, so ensure you give it space to grow. The attractive and showy, yellow-orange, tulip shaped flowers are where this tree gets its name.

Tulip Poplar is somewhat rare in Canada but highly sought after as it is difficult to grow. Does best in a moist, well-drained soil.
