	Nordmann Fir, The Perfect Tree
		Nordmann or Caucasian Fir, is probably the handsomest of all in the Abies genera.
		Under cultivation, Nordmann Fir may grow up to 60 feet tall with a spread of approximately 25 to 30 feet.
		Firs prefer a moist, well-drained, acidic soil similar to that found in a forest environment for optimum growth and performance.

		The firs have proved to be so beautiful and adaptable at the PHA that we plan to expand our collection through the acquisition of more species that are grown from seed collected in the wild from their place of origin.
		The cultivar 'Glauca' is notable for its distinct blue-gray needles and for its heavy crop of cones appearing on the uppermost branches of the tree.
		Use of Nordmann fir as an ornamental or landscape tree has increased over the last two decades, and the plant is now more available in the nursery trade.

	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.
		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.

		By choosing the right sort of Christmas tree which is the Nordmann Fir, customers can avoid the problem of their Christmas Tree losing its needles and looking sad, dreary and dejected and having to constantly vacuum away the fallen needles.
		The Nordmann Fir is one of the best for needle retention and has a fresh green colour with pretty spreading branches and soft non-prickly needles.
		The fir cones are harvested in the months of September and October from the old trees and the seeds are then separated from the cones.

	SMALL FARMS \| CROPS
		Because Nordmann fir has some resistance to Phytophthora and Annosus root rots, it has the potential to be a suitable alternative for noble fir in areas where these diseases occur.
		We have identified clones and provenances of Nordmann fir having superior needle retention and have shown needle retention is a highly heritable trait.
		Nordmann fir growers in the PNW are interested in establishing a Nordmann fir seed orchard for a source of locally tested and adapted seed.

		Eventually the needles on the Fraser fir wilt and the tree dies.
		Other species of fir have distinct advantages over the Fraser fir in that they are more tolerant of a higher temperature during the growing season.
		When transplanted into the land, survival rates were highest for the momi fir (80 to 100 percent), Nordmann fir (60 to 96 percent) and the Turkish fir (73 to 100 percent).

	ECU Biologists work to develop Christmas trees
		Fraser firs, by far the most popular species with consumers, are not well suited to the local climate.
		With Fraser fir, we are interested in providing resistance to drought and phytophthora, a root-rot disease, and we’re interested in bringing in some new species that might tolerate the environment and increase North Carolina’s share of the national market.”
		“Nordmann is one of the primary Christmas tree species in Europe, particularly in Denmark and the Netherlands,” Newton said.

	WASHINGTON STATE IMPACTS REPORT
		The Nordmann, which is native to parts of the Republic of Georgia and Turkey, is less susceptible to root rots that limit Noble fir production in the Pacific Northwest.
		Widespread use of the Nordmann is currently limited because the tree tends to shed needles if allowed to dry after it is cut.
		WSU's research has shown that the Nordmann fir has the potential to be grown in areas where Phytophthora root rot disease limits the production of Noble fir.

	Postharvest Quality of Noble and Nordmann Fir Christmas Trees (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When trees were displayed dry, noble and Nordmann fir had similar rates of moisture loss, drying to about –6 MPa in about 3 weeks.
		Although there was very little needle loss from any of the noble fir trees that were displayed dry, some Nordmann fir trees began to shed large numbers of green needles within 3 to 5 days, which significantly reduced postharvest quality.
		Unless sources of Nordmann firare identified that have good needle retention characteristics, the needle loss problem observed when trees dry to about –3 MPa has the potential to limit the use of this species as a Christmas tree in the United States.

		The Nordmann fir (Abies Nordmanniana) naturally occurs in the mountaneous regions at the eastern end of the Black Sea.
		Danish farmers decided to establish Nordmann plantations in Denmark, where the growth conditions are exceptionally good; frequent rainfalls, rich, not too sandy soil and the vicinity of the open sea make Denmark a perfect habitat for Nordmann.
		Similar conditions can be found also on the Polish coast, where we set up the first Polish plantation of Nordmann in 1994.

		Nordmann would grow much better, but even it at your location might be at its summer-heat limit.
		Fraser fir is native to the carolinas, and can take the summer heat much better than balsamea, but otherwise only way to tell them apart are minor variations in the shape of the cones.
		The native habitat for most firs is on the north side of wet mountains at high elevation.

	News Release: Study Shows Grafting a Viable Option in Combating Fraser Fir Fungus
		Today, the Fraser fir is a popular Christmas tree in North America - so popular that it has been chosen to decorate the White House more times than any other species.
		But the Fraser fir has recently been at the mercy of a fatal fungus - Phytophthora root rot - that infects and destroys the root system of the tree.
		To remedy the problem, North Carolina State University researchers Dr. John Frampton, associate professor of forestry and Christmas tree geneticist, and Dr. Eric Hinesley, professor of horticultural science, have developed a grafting procedure that joins Fraser fir shoots to the rootstock of disease-resistant trees.
