Conifers Trees Perennials

This may seem like a stupid question.

This stupid question couldn’t really fit the title. But, can firs grafted on Abies balsamea handle wet soil conditions? Because I know Abies balsamea naturally grows in northern bogs and swamps, and if those firs have balsamea roots, wouldn’t they be able to handle those conditions?

Reasoning is good, trying out is better :-)

Bio sciences aren't exact sciences, I have been told.
