Abies balsamea
Very popular Christmas tree. Unlike Spruce they have flat needles and a dominant crown of new growth.
The resin is used to produce Canada balsam, and was traditionally used as a cold remedy and as a glue for glasses, optical instrument components, and for preparing permanent mounts of microscope specimens.
