Answer : FIR
Fir Trees fall under the Abies Genus. There are about 50 species in the subsequent Pinaceae family. Note that the Douglas Fir is not actually a member of the Abies Genus, instead falling under the Genus Pseudotsuga.
Fir Trees are symmetrical, evergreen, coniferous trees that range in mature height from 10-80 metres. Their branches grow in a whorl around the tree each year, making it easy to figure out the age of the tree. They have erect cones that face up, instead of down like in so many other evergreen species. These cones mature in one season and disintegrate by winter. The root system of the fir tree also helps to prevent soil erosion.
Fir Trees can be found across North America, Europe, Asia and North Africa, preferring mountainous regions, but tolerating many other regions if there is cool, moist, well-drained soil available. They prefer full sun, but some species can tolerate partial shade.
