Canaan Fir transplants, approx 8-16″ tall [photo is no longer accurate!]<\/figcaption><\/figure>Canaan Fir transplants are very similar to the Balsam Fir and the Fraser Fir in appearance, grow zones and other characteristics. That makes this species a very desirable landscape ornamental and a perfect Christmas tree.<\/p>\n

SOLD OUT till Fall 2026, see Canaan Fir plug seedlings<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

This ecotype [or variation] of Balsam Fir<\/a> likes richer, darker soils with ample water. It stands out from the often troublesome Fraser Fir<\/a> in that the Canaan Fir can handle wetter soils and is less affected by root disease.\u00a0Canaan Fir is naturally\u00a0Phytophthora resistant, whereas Fraser is not.\u00a0This species is therefore an excellent substitute for Fraser Fir in problematic environments such as poorly draining areas.<\/p>\n

The Canaan Fir is naturally found in isolated populations at higher elevations. It is slower to break bud than Fraser Fir or Balsam Fir, making it less prone to damage from a late frost. If you’ve been watching the weather since 2010, this alone is a valuable characteristic to have. Gorgeous trees damaged by frost freezes are not gorgeous trees. This species will reach heights of up to 50ft with a nice pyramidal shape under normal circumstances. It provides excellent privacy and wind protection due to its dense growth.<\/p>\n

The Canaan Fir is named for the Canaan Valley in West Virginia. If you have tried Balsam Fir and Fraser Fir but have experienced poor results, this species is an excellent alternative.<\/p>\n
