Balsam fir is a hardy but light, aromatic conifer. It is often used as pulpwood and lumber, but it does wonders for wildlife as well. Moose rely on balsam fir for food in the winter, while deer rely on it for shelter and yarding. These trees can also be used for windbreaking as well as watershed protection. The balsam fir is a popular choice among those who celebrate Christmas and has been for over 400 years. In 1980, the balsam fir ranked second behind the Scotch pine as the most popular Christmas tree choice in North America.
