The foliage forms a conical shape at the top of the tree. Each branch has twigs with short green to dark-green needles that grow in 2 rows. These give off a mild turpentine-like fragrance when crushed.

The bark is gray-brown to gray-green and is smooth with resin blisters, developing few, if any, deep grooves as it ages. The dark green upper surface of the leaves is sometimes glaucous with stomatal bands. If present, stomata are concentrated near the blunt or slightly notched leaf tip. The lower surface has two stomatal bands. Towards the shorter length, we have the Fraser Fir that grows to 30 -50 ft maximum and SubalPine and Balsam Fir, reaching about 65 -66 feet maximum.What about the difference between a fir and spruce tree?

To get a balanced result, work slowly and carefully and evaluate the effect of removing each branch. This is not suitable for trees prone to silver leaf. More easily identified because yew tends to form small shrubs, yews could be mistaken as fir tree because of their flat needles.

The resin blisters on their bark are red-orange instead of grayish or whitish. It can be differentiated from the closely related Noble Fir by not having grooves in the upper surface of its leaf and by its ascending and descending rather than horizontal branches.
