Being evergreen \u0026amp; densely branched, they are a popular choice for privacy screens or windbreaks, \u0026amp; their beauty has won them many spots as specimen trees in parks, homes, \u0026amp; commercial sites. The Balsam Fir is of great value to wildlife, providing both shelter \u0026amp; food in the form of their seeds \u0026amp; buds to birds, squirrels, \u0026amp; other small critters. Moose, deer, \u0026amp; black bears browse the plants in winter \u0026amp; use the stands for shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Balsam Fir is a coniferous tree, \u0026amp; its cones start out a lovely dark purple, maturity to a grayish brown color. They typically measure 2 – 4” in length. The cones are popular decorative items. The wood is used in construction, to make furniture, \u0026amp; for pulp. The needles are used to fill pillows \u0026amp; sachets for their fragrance, \u0026amp; essential oils are extracted from needles to make a wide variety of products. Native American Indians have used the Balsam Fir for a number of medicinal uses going back thousands of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing the most fragrant of all Christmas Tree varieties, The Balsam Fir remains one of the most popular \u0026amp; beloved. Quite simply put, they smell like Christmas in all of its magical glory \u0026amp; delight. The rich aroma is a clean \u0026amp; crisp, \u0026amp; refreshing \u0026amp; invigorating with piney \u0026amp; woodsy tones mixed with sweet \u0026amp; citrusy notes. Balsam Firs have an ideal shape, naturally growing in a desirable pyramidal form, \u0026amp; soft dark green needles. Like the closely related Fraser Fir, Balsam Firs are able to retain their needles for long period after being harvested, typically remaining for 5 – 6 weeks. Their sturdy branches will support oodles of ornaments, \u0026amp; their more elongated form makes a Balsam Fir an excellent choice for a small spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the qualities listed above (superior fragrance, lovely coloration, needle-retention, etc) the boughs of the Balsam Fir are an excellent \u0026amp; popular choice for the making of Christmas wreaths, garlands, swags, centerpieces, \u0026amp; other holiday décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1rem;
