Fir

The fir is Sweden’s most common tree and is characterized by its needles and hanging cones.  It thrives in cool climates and often grows in large forests.  Fir trees are evergreen and normally live for 200–300 years. In forestry, fir trees are felled at 75–150 years of age. Fir is the Swedish plant on which most other species depend. Guests found in fir trees include fungi, lichens and beetles.
