Abies hosts caterpillars of 55 species
of butterflies and moths, in some areas.
Often grown as a Christmas tree, due to its nice color, pleasant scent, and that after cutting, it holds onto its needles longer than most other Christmas trees. However, cultivators find the tree susceptible to 🍄︎ fungal disease
water mold Phytophtora abietivora and Phytophtora cinnamomi.
