You have a FIR. Your mystery sample is a WHITE FIR or<br />
CONCOLOR FIR. White fir do not begin producing cones<br />
or seeds until the tree is about 40 years old. The white fir<br />
makes a beautiful Christmas tree and it is important to<br />
many species of wildlife.<br />
(The fir is just one of several kinds of conifers that have flat needles.<br />
Others include hemlock, douglasfir, and baldcypress.)<br />
Please take your tree sample to your teacher and he/she will<br />
let you know if you have correctly identified your mystery<br />
tree.
