What type of Tree is this?

Hi All,


I was hoping you could help me identify this tree! I believe it is a Balsam fir, but would love confirmation. I live in western, MA (Berkshire County). The needles are flat (don't roll on my fingers) and have two white lines on their underside. However, the bark does not have horizontal lines common to Balsam fir (perhaps this is due to the old age of this tree?). Also, as you can see, the needles go all the way around and are not just on one plane. Could this be because the tree is sitting in the sun? I've heard this can happen to the needles in the sun.


Would love your opinion.


Thanks!
