Fir tree identification
The identification of this tree is a bit complex due to its
various types of species. As usual, you can recognize it by Christmas tree, but
conflict occurs when comparing species.
The balsam fir tree is used for making paper. The height of
this tree is about 50 to 90 feet, usually found in Native America.
In the eastern United States, the 40 feet tall Fraser
species are being favored.
Identifying Abies grandis, aka grand fir, is easy because
it’s a bit different. These reddish 3-inch cones attract buyers at Christmas
time. As its name suggests, it grows up
to 250 feet.
The Himalayan fir is used for various medicinal purposes,
and its oil is used to cure colds and nasal congestion. This 100 feet
heightened tree grows in India.
After all, there’s no pinpointed way to differentiate
