Excerpt from Balsam Fir

The same factors that control the geographical distribution of balsam fir influence to a great extent also its local occurrence. Maine, with an average summer temperature of only 625° F., an average winter temperature of 20° F., and a mean annual rainfall of 43 inches, presents most favorable conditions for the tree's growth, and, indeed, here balsam fir is in general more thrifty than in any other State ih which it occurs. This is shown in every way - ih the greater height, larger diameter, greater clear length, more cylindrical shape of the trunk, and the smoother appearance of the bark, indicating a more rapid growth.

The forest types in which balsam fir occurs in Maine, as well as throughout northern New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont, may be classified as swamp, flat, hardwood slope, and mountain top.
