[i]Abies grandis [/i]I don't know the answer to the questions though; I'll guess that it is fast growing and that grows in large stands

Re: Forestry ID
For the old question, here's the answers (since no one posted, I guess it's safe to post answers, but I'll hide them just in case):
For the new ID:
1. [i]Abies balsamea[/i] 2. It is sweet smelling, which makes it a popular Christmas tree 3. It is the least fire resistant of the firs; it's prone to fire because of its high resin content

Re: Forestry ID

1. Scientific Name
2. This tree is sometimes referred to as a "trash tree." Why?
3. This tree is also susceptible to the disease pictured below. What is this disease called?

Re: Forestry ID
The ID is correct... but the questions are incorrect. Would you like to try again? (or anyone, for that matter)
I'm sorry if the questions were poorly worded- let me know if I should post clarifications

Re: Forestry ID
Not sure about #2, but for #3 I believe it's commonly known as "popcorn disease".
