Where can this tree grow?

I was wondering if the Alpine Balsam Fir will grow in North Carolina? Does it look similar to the Balsam Fir? and does this tree grow in North Carolina?
thanks

 

Depends on where in North Carolina. High up near the summit of Mount Mitchell, no problem. In the coastal lowlands, no, or not for more than a few years at best.

 

so if the tree was growing at an elevation of 2,178 ft, probably not the same tree this is the tree. I thought it was just a Balsam Fir tree...what do you think?

 

Evergreen with tufted needles borne on spur like shoots = Cedrus.

 

here are better pictures if bark and the whole tree

 

Yep, Lebanon Cedar Cedrus libani - a very nice tree, and adapted to warmer climates than Balsam Fir. A very nice tree, really majestic when it gets older.

 

thanks so very much
