Balsam Fir
The Balsam Fir is the traditional Christmas tree in New England.  It is a short needled tree known for it's wonderful fragrance and excellent needle retention.  The soft needles are usually blue green.

Fraser Fir

Balsam/Fraser Cross
The Balsam/Fraser cross, sometimes known as the Fralsam, is a cross between the two, bringing out the best of both types - fragrance, color, shape, and excellent needle retention.
