About the Plant:
Siberian Fir is a tall evergreen tree growing up to 125 feet, with a conical crown. The smooth bark is grey-green to grey-brown, with resin blisters. The tree lives in a cold boreal climate in moist soils on mountains and river basins at higher elevations. It is shade-tolerant, frost-resistant, and hardy, surviving temperatures down to −60 °F. It has a relatively short lifespan compared to other conifers and rarely lives over 200 years, due to its susceptibility to fungal decay in the wood. The wood is soft, lightweight, and weak. It is used in construction, furniture, and wood pulp.
Where it Grows:
Siberian Fir is native to Russia and Hungary. Amrita® Aromatherapy is proud to have Certified Organic Siberian Fir from Bulgaria.
Traditional Uses and Lore:
Siberian Fir was the first species used for the Christmas tree, but has since been replaced by Douglas and Noble Firs. In some cultures, it is believed the fir tree has strong connections with the owner of the land on which it stands. The lore is that should it ever be struck by lightning or begin to wither, the owner will die.
