It doesn't matter. Cut all the lower branches off the tree to allow sun
to get to the ground.
Fir trees are the worst kind of tree on a lawn.
I have fir tress on two sides of my lawn where nothing grows underneath
them. I'd cut them down but they are on my neighbor's property.
With all the snow we had this winter and how long it stayed on the
ground, the deer ate a lot of the lower branches to where I can now see
my neighbor's lawn, so maybe some grass will grow there.
