Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea) are the symbol of Christmas and gives the Christmas spirit throughout the trail (which puts a HUGE smile on my face whenever I pass by them)! This Balsam Fir is across from a cluster of other Balsam Firs, but is next to Eastern White Pines (Pinus strobus).
This Balsam Fir is no where near the 45-75 feet it can grow to be, but it is growing!
Similar to other species, it can grow in sun, part shade, and shade. This fir also prefers well-drained, acidic, moist soil.
