Balsam Fir Tree Planting Kit (Abies balsamea) by Meinwoody

Just rub a few needles between your palms – and the balsam fir immediately gives off a comforting, Christmassy scent. Its resin is used to extract the famous Canada balsam. Yet it is remarkably undemanding: little water, sandy soils, winter hardy. With this kit, you can plant it yourself: Open, press in seeds, water. Done.

What's included

  • 5–10 Balsam fir seeds (Abies balsamea)
  • Plastic-free plant pot made from hemp fiber composite – 100% compostable
  • Approx. 150 ml Terra Preta soil
  • Dimensions: 6 × 6 × 5 cm (L × W × H)
  • Grass paper box with planting instructions

Interesting facts about the Balsam Fir

The balsam fir (Abies balsamea) originates from the northern USA and Canada – and is one of the most undemanding fir species of all.

  • Growth height: up to 30 meters, compact & uniform growth
  • Growth: slow, approx. 5 cm annually – ideal for gardens & pots
  • Winter hardy & undemanding – thrives even on sandy soils with little water
  • Needles: intense Christmas scent when rubbed
  • Resin: source of the famous Canada balsam – historically used in optics & medicine
  • Grows in pure stands & mixed forests – ecologically valuable

How it works

Press seeds into the soil, water – and let them grow. After cultivation, you can plant the seedling directly with the compostable pot into the ground or a larger container. The pot decomposes without residue in 12–24 months. Your plant roots freely and undisturbed.

Germinating Tree Seeds

1. Place about 5 tree seeds in the freezer for 24 hours, then in lukewarm water for 24 hours to soften. Please note: do not apply this step for Moringa. Moringa cannot tolerate frost.

2. Place WOODY on a saucer. Press the softened seeds 1-2 cm deep into the soil. Then water until the soil is nicely moist.

3. Place WOODY in a bright spot. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Germination can take about four to twelve weeks.

4. Plant your tree when it is more than twice as tall as the pot is wide. Place the tree, including the compostable pot, into the soil.

Further planting and care tips can be found here.
