Norway Spruce vs Balsam Fir
Picea abies
Abies balsamea
Norway Spruce is a large, openly branched evergreen recognized by its drooping branchlets and large cones. This hardy, adaptable tree thrives in moist conditions, but will grow in clay or sandy soils.
Norway Spruce is the fastest growing spruce we carry but it's not as dense as other spruce trees.
It is sometimes used as a Christmas tree.
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.
