They do very well at growing in heavier clay soils than other fir species that normally need a more acidic soil, rich in humus to thrive (similar to a forest floor). They are vibrant green and have the typical Christmas tree look which these trees are occasionally grown for. They have a medium growth rate of 1-2 feet per year and can grow up to 50 feet tall and 25 feet wide. Another great characteristic of canaan firs is that they hold their needles for a long time (up to a decade!) This tree becomes habitat and shelter for many species of birds and mammals as it grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen Possum Nursery","offers":[{"title":"2 year old \/ Spring","offer_id":54379608441107,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 year old \/ Fall","offer_id":54379608473875,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/1376\/6163\/files\/20260427_075944_9be0a845-5d06-4d63-ae06-1d7cf7caac54.jpg?v=1783429534","url":"https:\/\/zenpossum.com\/products\/canaan-fir","provider":"Zen Possum Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
