ABIES BALSAMEA PHANEROLEPIS
Grower Notes:

The Canaan Fir (Abies balsamea var phanerolepis) is a preferred Christmas tree variety selected for its late bud break, fast growth and heavy lateral branching. It is an attractive evergreen tree that can reach 40-50 feet tall with a spread of 20-25 feet. It has a dense, pyramidal crown and fragrant, dark green needles with a silvery band along the underside. It is noteworthy for its hardiness and ability to grow in areas that other firs do not.

The Canaan Fir enjoys full to part sun in average, well-drained soils. It has a preference to sandy, acidic soils. City environments should be avoided due to an intolerance of urban pollution.
