The balsam fir has at least one adaptation which is it's waxy resin like coating on the needles. They help to preserve water.
A variety of animals eat Balsam Fir Trees. Moose eat foliage, twigs and small branches. Whitetail deel and snowshoe hares eat the bark as well as the porcupine/ The spruce budworms eat the needles.
the tree adapts by growing tall enough to reach more sunlight which provides for it food and warmth it falls under kingdom plantae. hope this helps
because they dont realy have leaves and they look fury.
