	Fir - MSN Encarta
		The Nikko fir from Japan, which is a much smaller tree, reaching a height of about 25 m (82 ft), is pollution-resistant and is often planted in towns and cities.
		True firs are distinguished from similar and related trees by the circular leaf bases which leave a flat scar when the needle falls.
		The common silver fir of Europe is classified as Abies alba; the Spanish fir as Abies pinsapo; the Grecian fir as Abies cephalonica; the Caucasian fir as Abies nordmanniana; the Nikko fir as Abies homolepis; the noble fir as Abies procera; the grand fir as Abies grandis; and the balsam fir as Abies balsamea.

	Fir Information
		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.

		Fir cones are some of the most attractive of all the conifers.
		While all wild species of firs are tall trees reaching 50 to 200 feet at maturity, many dwarf forms are available, allowing the homeowner to choose plants that will remain as small trees or even shrubs that stay under 2 feet.
		Firs flourish in well-drained, acid soils in cool, moist climates and as such, can be challenged when planted in the Midwest.

	botany/abies
		Abies are commonly known as Fir trees and belong to Pinaceae, a section of the Conifer family, Coniferae.
		Firs may be distinguished from Spruces by their standing cones; cones of the Spruce are pendant.
		Young Fir trees are very sensitive to light, so they need to be shaded from strong, direct sun until they are two or three years old.

	Fir
		Firs have a pyramidal shape and horizontal branching with the lower branches drooping toward the ground.
		Firs resemble spruce trees with the major difference being that firs have erect cones, as opposed to spruces whose cones hang down.
		Firs need to be acclimated to pot culture, so they should be planted in oversized pots and introduced into small pots gradually.

	A 700-year landscape history of dwarf bamboo (Sasa)-Nikko fir community in the sub-alpine zone of Mt. Kamegamori, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The 700-year landscape history of Himi-nisengoku-hara, a 40-ha dwarf bamboo (Sasa spp.)-dominated area with Nikko fir (Abies homolepis) trees, located near the peak of Mount Kamegamori, Shikoku Island, Japan, was examined using palaeoecological analyses.
		Tree census data and tree ring cores obtained from three plots revealed that Nikko fir trees were established in the periphery of the Himi-nisengoku-hara at least 250 years ago and invaded the centre of the area with the simultaneous death of the dwarf bamboo at AD 1964.
		It is suggested that the increase of charcoal fragments with buckwheat pollen approximately 300 years ago may have been due to slash and burn cultivation around the area.
