Fraser Fir
sapin Fraser
Abies fraseri
This classic conifer with upturned branches is sometimes called ‘Southern Balsam’ since it closely resembles Balsam Fir and grows mainly in the Appalachian Mountains, where it is considered endangered. Fraser Fir is frequently found in damp and fragrant woods in southeastern U.S. along with red spruce and mosses and ferns. In Canada it is grown primarily as a Christmas tree and is greatly preferred for that use due to its long-lasting, fresh-smelling needles. A mature Fraser fir can grow up to 20 metres in height, with a width of up to 10 metres. This tree can be found by following the Arboretum circle road around past the south parking lookout, then going into the circle about 15 metres to a small clearing where it is planted amongst other conifer trees.
Celebrating Alexandre Okonski
Our son is not with us anymore. But we have beautiful photos of him, pictures he had drawn, poems he had written… We are proud of him, and we remember our boy with love and happiness for all the memorable times we spent together.
