  Fir - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Firs (Abies) are a genus of between 45-55 species of evergreen conifers in the family Pinaceae.
Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the fact that their needle-like leaves are attached to the twig by a base that resembles a small suction cup, and by erect, cylindrical cones 5-25 cm long that disintegrate at maturity to release the winged seeds.
The wood of most firs is considered inferior, and is often used as pulp or for the manufacture of plywood and rough timber.

The silver firs are natives of the temperate parts of the northern hemisphere, usually occurring in mountainous regions ; attaining high elevations towards the south, as in Guatemala, Algeria, Himalayas, and Formosa; and descending to low levels in the extreme north, as Alaska, Labrador, and Siberia.
The fir grows here on a talus, composed of sharp angular white limestone stones ; and the contrast between the dense mass of green foliage of the tree and the pure white ground from which it springs, is remarkably beautiful.

 El Tarik
Algerians, having been liberated by American and British troops during the War (during the Allied invasion of North Africa on November 8 1942) were fond of American anti-colonialism and the ideals of liberty that they brought about.
Algerians who had fought in the war against Nazism and returned home to a land of broken promises, contradictions and oppression were especially well represented in the crowds.
The Young Algerians’ legacy was that their efforts at positive change were so frustrated by the exclusivist and bigoted feelings of the great mass of the Algerian population, both Muslim and European, that they eventually were forced to abandon their assimilationist orientation and fight out the battle for equality on the battlefield.

In Lebanon and Turkey it is most abundant at altitudes of 1,000-2,000 m, where it forms pure forests or mixed forests with Cilicican Fir (Abies cilicica), European Black Pine (Pinus nigra), and several juniper (Juniperus) species.
In Cyprus, it occurs at 1,000-1,525 m (reaching the summit of Mount Paphos), and in the Atlas Mountains at 1,300-2,200 m, in pure forests or mixed with Algerian Fir, junipers, oaks and maples.
The tree is an evergreen in the family Pinaceae, with a height of up to 40 m, and a conic (when young) to broadly tabular shape.

 Exotic Wood fir
This fantastic piece of slow-growth douglas fir was provided by William Brooke from Beautiful Mt. Lehman, B.C., whom I thank for this and other contributions to the site.
In fact, the growth rings on this are SO close together that I find it hard to believe that it IS Douglas fir, since that species does not normally grow this slowly.
I couldn't get the excess red out without making the fir look more yellow than it is. To the right of the fir is a very pretty piece of cocobolo fronted by a small oval of yew.

They are often found mingling with the Algerian Fir (abies numidica), another beautiful and glorious tree of the Atlas.
In a more realistic way it can be interpreted to justify Algerian independence, leaving behind those who have thrown away their chances at greatness or progress (the husband, the French) and becoming one with a land that is the last refuge from the constant irritations of the colonial epoch.
Some Algerians are more proud of the achievements of medieval Iraqis and Syrians than those of Algerians; they don't even view their own nation as being legitimate (this is only a few however, keep in mind, many, if not most Algerians are very patriotic) compared to some imagined and imported notion of the Arab nation.

 Abies for mid-Atlantic (Z6) - Conifers Forum - GardenWeb
Nordmann fir would seem to be a good choice for a fir tree in this region and I already have three that are growing painfully slowly.
I never had a fir die or have any serious problems - attributing this to the significant slope they are planted on (good drainage), the north-facing of that slope (late bud break), and an abundance of mulch...
It is behind the Nordmann firs I planted at the same time, mostly because of being frosted in the spring when it was small.

At this stage of the war the famed Ypres Salient, held by the British, Canadians and French, ran for some 10 miles and bulged into German occupied territory for five miles.
A combination of French territorials and Algerian troops held the line to the left, with the British and Canadians tending the centre and line to their right.
Puzzled but suspicious the French suspected that the cloud masked an advance by German infantry and ordered their men to 'stand to' - that is, to mount the trench fire step in readiness for probable attack.

Although introduced with minimal effect on the Russian Eastern Front at Bolimov by the Germans earlier in the war (where it was so cold the gas had frozen), and in conflict with the Hague Convention which outlawed gas warfare, its impact during Second Ypres was startlingly effective.
