      White Fir
             Abies concolor

      Resilient to drought and shade, the white fir is native to the western United States. It is favored in Canada as an ornamental tree because of its attractive needles, which appear silver in colour. Native Canadian fir trees produce a liquid from blisters on the bark which when extracted is sold as "Canada balsam".
