I was in the Christmas tree business many years ago. We sold several thousand trees a year off our lot. Of that number most were scotch pine. A couple hundred were white, black, and blue spruce. Several hundred were Douglas fir. We would have about fifty concolor. They were beautiful, smelled better than any other tree, and if you decorated them with white lights they were spectacular.

Is this fir toxic to cats if they chew on it?

[@TreeHusker]

I have not heard of any animal toxicity with firs (genus Abies), but always good to check with a qualified vet.
