Canaan Fir, Abies balsamea var. phanerolepis - One Gallon Container
The Canaan fir has the strong shape and green-blue needles of a Fraser while being fragrant like a Balsam. It makes an excellent Christmas tree due to its high needle retention but also serves well for screening, coppices, and woodland or meadow areas. Having a late bud break, the Canaan is less likely to be harmed by a late spring frost than either the Fraser or the Balsam.
Preferring loamy and sandy soils, this tree will grow 12 – 24” a year once established; reaching heights between 45 – 55’ with a spread of 15 – 25’.
USDA Zones 4 – 7
*Canaan is not tolerant of urban pollution and planting should be avoided in these areas.
