Captivated by the beauty of balsam trees? Upgrade to an artificial version for the Christmas holiday. This bountiful fir tree species typically grows up to 60 feet in its natural climate setting, making balsam trees a towering presence in the forest. Luckily, you can enjoy scaled down versions of these trees in your home. The quirky symmetrical spires of the tree tips are one reason to admire them. You may also be a fan of their lush girth, which provides plenty of space for creative holiday tree decorating ideas.
