I can’t emphasize enough how difficult it can be to access samples of fir trees that grow in such isolated and far-flung places as the Himalayas and Morocco. Without places like the Hoyt, it would have taken me decades to find 40-50 fir species in their natural stands in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central America.

The Hoyt has provided us with a source for stock plant material. It also serves as a great example of adult plant morphology and species comparison. We found many unique plants and were able to quickly see several similar species growing side by side for comparison.
