Abies sibirica seed

LATIN NAME: ABIES SIBIRICA

COMMON NAME: Siberian Fir

The Siberian fir minarets the tall, narrow, evergreen tree with the soft, flattened, dark-green needles that spread in the flat sprays and stand out on the upper side of the branchlets, the upright, cylindrical cones that ripen through the summer and break apart on the branches, the pale, smooth bark developing with the age. The crown rises into the elegant, minaret-like spire, and the tree stands the cold winters well. It likes the sun, and the deep, moist, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The fragrant needles of the Siberian fir give it a long place in the research on the cold-climate timber trees of the pine family, and the sibirica species appears in the studies of the narrow-crown development and the needle oil chemistry. The work looks at the way the crown rises into the spire, the soft timber, and the seed biology. The foresters value the pulp and the construction timber, the perfumers note the fir-needle oils, and the growers of the cold-hardy ornamental firs keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the cool, large garden, the Siberian fir minarets the cool garden with the slender spire. The timber serves the construction and the pulp for the ages, the needle oils serve the balsams and the scents, and the tree makes the fine specimen and the windbreak. It thrives in the deep, moist, well-drained, sunny ground. Elegant, fragrant and cold-hardy.

To grow the Siberian Fir from seed, sow the fresh seeds into the leafy drills of the open bed in the autumn, then cover them lightly, keep the bed lightly moist, and the young trees show themselves in the spring.

Keep the bed lightly watered, and give the young trees the open, sunny spot. The minaret form comes over the years. Settle the young trees in the deep, moist ground, and the minaret form will rise over the years.

Abies sibirica, the Siberian fir,
Fir is a plant. People use the shoot and oil for medicine.
Properties:
Analgesic, Antiviral, Antimicrobial, Fungicidal, Antiseptic
Historic Uses:
Disinfectant, Respiratory Ailments, Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds, Arthritis, Muscular Aches, Massage, Deodorizer
Commonly Blended With: Bergamot, camphor, cajeput, cedarwood, citronella, eucalyptus, frankincense, grapefruit, juniper berry, lavender, lemon, niaouli, orange, peppermint, petitgrain, pine, ravintsara, rosemary, tea tree, thyme
Fir is taken by mouth for respiratory tract pain and swelling (inflammation), colds, cough, bronchitis, fever, and sore mouth and throat. It is also taken for muscle and nerve pain, tendency toward infection, and tuberculosis.
Some people apply fir directly to the skin for muscle, nerve, and joint pain. It is also added to bathwater as a treatment for mental illness.
How does it work?
Fir shoot may reduce mucus production in the airways and act as a mild germ-killer. When applied to the skin, the essential oil increases blood flow to the area, causes redness, and creates a sensation of warmth, which can help relieve pain in the tissue underneath.
