The Balsam fir is a North American fir, native to most of eastern and central Canada and the northeastern United States. It is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree, typically reaching heights of 14 to 20 meters, with a narrow, conical crown. The bark is smooth and grayish-brown with resin blisters. Its leaves are needle-like, flat, and dark green with two white bands on the underside. The cones are erect, cylindrical, and ripen to a brown color. Balsam fir is known for its pleasant fragrance, which is often used in air fresheners and incense. It is also a popular choice for Christmas trees due to its aromatic needles and symmetrical shape. The wood of the Balsam fir is soft and light, making it suitable for paper production and light construction. This tree prefers cool, moist climates and is commonly found in boreal forests and mountainous regions.
