Bracted Balsam Fir:  Excellent needle retention, much like Fraser Fir in shape, density and color, but they appear to be more disease resistant and more importantly they don't taste like popcorn to the deer.

While in the same family as Canaan Fir, the Bracted Balsam we plant are native to a small area of Nova Scotia. 

First time available for sale!!!!!

Concolor (White) Fir:  Good needle retention.   Looks like a cross between a pine tree and a Douglas Fir tree.  Needles are lighter in color then the Bracted Balsam Fir.

A very unique tree that has proven very difficult to grow.  We think we finally have a good seedling source & hope to have more trees as we go forward.

Native to the western United States, reaching heights of 130-150'. 

Very limited availability, please call ahead.

White Spruce: Fair needle retention, extremely fragrant, natural conical form.  Varies from green, to slightly blue-green.  Needs watering!  If watered well the needles shouldn't drop. 

Short and somewhat pointy needles.  Not as pointy as a Blue Spruce.  

White Spruce can reach a height of 140' @ maturity.  Native to New England, the northern tier states and points north.
