Siberian Larch vs Balsam Fir

Siberian Larch is a large, cold hardy conifer. Like the Tamarack, its needles turn golden yellow and drop in the fall, and it is able to handle saturated soils.

If you are looking for a long-lived tree for your large property or shelterbelt with quite wet soil, this is the tree for you.

This variety is often used on the south side of a shelterbelt to let sunlight in during the winter and to provide protection or shading during the summer.

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!

This fir grows tall and narrow. Balsam Fir is cold hardy, shade tolerant, and will thrive in most soil types and moisture levels.
