Tree Varieties

 

 

Choose Your Christmas Tree from These Popular Varieties:

 

DOUGLAS FIR

This is the most popular type of Christmas tree. It's fragrant needles are soft and flat, about 1" long and range in color from blue-green to green. Excellent needle retention for early decorating.

 

FRASER FIR

Increasingly popular Christmas tree. Very fragrant with short, soft needles. This tree has a rich green color with a silver underside. Excellent needle retention for early decorating.

CANAAN FIR

Very similar to Fraser Fir, but native to mountains of West Virginia. Relatively new to eastern markets, but gaining popularity. Very fragrant with short soft needles. Excellent needle retention for early decorating.

 

BLUE SPRUCE

Most popular landscape conifer and an increasingly popular Christmas tree. Prickly needles range in color from dark green to silver blue. Very stiff branches provide excellent support for ornaments, but has a shorter needle retention period.

WHITE PINE

More popular for landscaping than as a Christmas tree due to flimsier branches. Has long soft needles and a delightful fragrance.

 
NORWAY SPRUCE

Popular for landscaping. Deep green, short and stiff needles. Not recommended as a Christmas tree due to poor needle retention.

 
REMEMBER:

A freshly cut tree should be placed in water promptly. If your tree has been allowed to air for more than two hours, cut about 1/2 inch off the bottom before placing in water. Supply plenty of water to your tree so that the trunk end does not dry and seal.
