Topic: Bulgarian Fir


  
  Fir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 Greek Fir (Abies cephalonica)
Greek Fir (Abies cephalonica) is a fir native to the mountains of Greece, primarily in the Peloponnesos and the island of Kefallinia, intergrading with the closely related Bulgarian Fir further north in the Pindus mountains of northern Greece.
Greek Fir was important in the past for wood for general construction, but it is too rare to be of significant value now.
It is also grown as an ornamental tree in parks and large gardens, though in areas that often get late frosts it is prone to frost damage, as it is one of the first conifers to come to leaf in spring.

abies nordmanniana - Nordmann fir - Ambralauria Russia/Turkey
Many of these "new" firs have high ornamental value and will find their way into those types of plantings rather than as cut Christmas trees.
Most abies (true firs) have beautiful foliage and some will be raised for floral use - selected cuttings for use in the making of weaths, flower arrangements, center pieces, etc.
