balsam firs
Aromatic holiday trees
Balsam firs are evergreen conifers native to North America, prized for their symmetrical shape, fragrant needles, and soft wood.
They're among the most popular Christmas trees, valued for their classic conical form and strong scent.
The resin yields Canada balsam, used in optical work and microscopy.
