How to Harvest Fir Buds

Fir buds grow on the tip of the fir branches every year in the month of May. They have a raw green color, and are tender and, if you crush them between your teeth, they have a sour taste and an extraordinary aroma. When the fir buds are two fingers long, they are ready for harvesting to prepare all kinds of healing remedies with them, including the fir buds tincture. Now let’s get to the recipe.

In most forests, fir (Abies alba) grows together with spruce (Picea abies). Both these threes are very similar and and have almost identical therapeutic properties, and both can be used in the recipes and remedies described here.
