In autumn the leaves turn a vibrant red, adding bursts of color to our landscapes. This deciduous tree produces many acorns and is a great provider of food for wildlife.

Balsam Fir The Balsam Fir, 'Abies balsamea', exhibits a relatively dense, dark-green, pyramidal crown with a slender spire-like tip. The scientific name "balsamea" is an ancient word for the balsam tree, so named because of the many resinous blisters found in the bark. The species thrives in cooler climates and demands abundant soil moisture and a humid atmosphere. A large percentage of Christmas trees are Balsam Firs.
