TYPES & SPECIES

There are multiple tree types and species that are used for Christmas trees. All of them have their own distinguishing qualities. Some trees have needles that fall off faster than others. Other trees might be known for their bright green color. Sometimes, a miniature tree is better for the mantle. Regardless, it is important for you to understand some of the basics regarding the many different Christmas trees available so that you can make the right decision for you and your family.

Will you go with a noble fir known for its sturdy needles? How about a bright green scotch pine with plenty of room for decorations or perhaps a miniature Christmas tree just for that mantle? Whether you handpick the same type of Christmas tree each year or just go with the first one that stands out, the fact of the matter is that there are many different possible choices. The Christmas tree becomes the focal point of your holiday decor and family traditions, so it is important to narrow down your decision and find just the right one. Shape, color and scent are just a few things to consider.

On the connected pages you will be provided with a closer look at the properties and characteristics of many of these beauties that will hopefully help make your decision a bit easier to make. All the best to you and yours this holiday season and throughout the year.
