Tree Abies balsamea [Balsam Fir] Used mainly as a specimen tree and popular as a Christmas tree. Does not hold its needles very long in a dry house and for this reason is no as desirable as pines. In youth it looks good but under hot, dry conditions may lose he older needles and become open and unkempt.
Tree Abies balsamea var. phanerolepis [Canaan Fir] The Canaan Fir is more tolerant of different environmental conditions than many other firs. It can tolerate wetter soils, and because of its later bud break, is more resistant to damage caused by late spring frost. Can be affected by spruce budworms, wooly adelgid, and several canker diseases, as well as deer. This species transplants well.
Tree Abies concolor [White Fir] Similar to Picea pungens f. glauca in color and general form, but less positive, and so easier to use in a variety of situations. Better adapted to hot, dry summers than most other firs.
Tree Abies concolor 'Blue Select' [Blue Select White Fir] Better adapted to hot, dry summers than most other firs. 'Blue Select' is noted for its intense blue upright needles.
Tree Abies concolor 'Conica' [Conica White Fir] 'Conica' is a narrow habit white fir, with a spread reaching 10-15' wide. Similar to Picea pungens f. glauca in color and general form, but less positive, and easier to use in a variety of situations. Better adapted to hot, dry summers than most other firs, but prefers cooler cilmates.
Tree Abies nordmanniana [Nordmann Fir] In the wild, this species can reach over a staggering 200'. Many uses for this tree are for spacious parks and screening.
Tree Acer × freemanii 'Celzam' [sold as Celebration®] [Celebration Freeman Maple] 'Celzam' has a classic upright form with uniform growth, making for a great specimen tree in the landscape. This plant, like most Freeman hybrids, is generally seedless and is also known for its fall color. In early October, 'Celzam' becomes a brilliant red and then slowly changes to gold by late October.
Tree Acer × freemanii 'Marmo' [Marmo Freeman Maple] The Marmo Maple has similar characteristics to its Silver Maple parent, more so than to its Red Maple parent. This cultivar produces staminate flowers, and therefore is seedless. 'Marmo' fall color ranges from reds to greens. Once established, it becomes tolerant to most pests and disease.
