May 23, 2011 – Concolor Firs

One of the three varieties of trees in the house windbreak is concolor fir.

These trees started out rather straggly growing, but after about five years they took on their nice cylindrical shape. The windbreak now does a good job of capturing snow and we can no longer see the farm to the north out the house windows.

This time of year, the new growth is minty green and very soft.
