Have you often seen a fir tree growing in your garden? That's it.

Meanwhile, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh believes that this plant should be planted by everyone who owns at least a few hundred square meters.

Let's find out what this specialist's recommendation is based on.

Let's start with the fact that fir is an original and beautiful tree with unusual flat needles and no less "extravagant" cones that look like candles.

The crown of the fir is always lush, despite the fact that it practically does not need shaping - you must agree, this greatly simplifies the care of the plant. By the way, firs are undemanding to the soil. Moreover, they are able to grow well even in the shade.

Another advantage is that the lower part of the tree is practically not exposed.

If we compare the aroma of spruce and fir, the latter is even more pronounced.

Finally, let us remember that some species of fir can live more than 300 years.

But the plant also has its disadvantages. Perhaps the main one is that firs have lower frost resistance compared to other coniferous trees.

Earlier, BelNovosti answered the question of what fertilizers to use for feeding strawberries in the spring – organic or mineral.
