 Profile -
Firs (Abies)
are a genus of between 45-55 species of
evergreen
conifers in the family
Pinaceae. All are
trees, reaching heights of
10-80 m (30-260 ft) tall and trunk diameters of 0.5-4 m
(2-12 ft) when mature. Firs can be distinguished from
other members of the pine family by their needle-like
leaves, attached to the
twig by a base that resembles a small suction cup; and
by erect, cylindrical cones
5-25 cm (2-10 in) long that disintegrate at maturity to
release the winged
seeds. Identification
of the species is based on the size and arrangement of
the leaves, the size and shape of the cones, and whether
the bract scales of the cones are long and exserted, or
short and hidden inside the cone. They are most closely
related to the cedars (Cedrus).
Firs are found through much of North and Central
America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, occurring in
mountains over most of the
range.
