Southern, New Hampshire
|
Short, flat, flexible, shiny green needles on redish-brown twigs.
Needles have two parallel white lines on the underside. Brown scaled cones
on the ends of twigs. Cones are very small: 1/2 - 3/4 inch long. Bark
is redish-brown, deeply furrowed into broad scaly ridges. Other flat-needled
look-similars in New hampshire: The Balsim Fir has smooth bark with many
resin blisters and the cones are much bigger (2 - 3-1/4 inches). The
Canadian Yew (poisonous) does not have a scaly cone, has stiff pointy
needles with yellowish lines beneath the needles. Yew is mostly seen as
a shrub in New Hampshire.
