Canaan Fir (Abies balsamea var. phanerolepis) combines the best traits of balsam and Fraser fir, with soft, dark green needles and excellent needle retention. It is one of the most popular Christmas tree varieties and also makes an attractive ornamental evergreen. As a conifer it does not flower, and it grows best in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil.
