		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.
		Nordmann Fir, Noble Fir, Fraser Fir and Balsam Fir are very popular Christmas trees, generally considered to be the best trees for this purpose, with their aromatic foliage that does not shed many needles on drying out.

		We are also trailing approximately 30 different cultivars of Chamaecyparis thyoides introduced by Dr. Donglin Zhang and the horticulture department of The University of Maine in Orono, ME. Depending upon the performance and cold-hardiness of these cultivars, new plant offerings may be available in the not-so-distant future.
		Showing promise as a later-flushing, uniform growing balsam, it is better adapted to tolerate drought conditions.
		Not quite as tolerant of heavy soils as the canaan (W.V. source), nor as late breaking, the bracted balsam is fraser-like in needle structure with dense, dark green foliage and a fast growth rate.
