Great Selection of Christmas Trees

The Balsam fir is a lush, dark-green tree. It is fairly dense, with long-lasting needles.

This tree tends to keep its wonderful fragrance well into the holiday season.

The Fraser fir got its name from the Scot botanist, John Fraser, who found the tree in the southern Appalachians.

The Fraser fir closely resembles the Balsam.

The flattened leaves are dark-green, and form a medial grove on the upper side, and two, silvery-white bands on the lower surface, a pleasing contrast that seems to sparkle in the lights.

Fraser firs travel well and retain their pleasant fragrance.

These beautiful, hearty trees were once particularly abundant in forests that had been ravaged by fire-while many other trees perished, the thick barked

Douglas fir often survived. The Douglas Fir is not related to true firs.

It's thickness and spreading branches make this tree a favorite in many homes, and it is now grown commercially in order to meet supply.

Sometimes known as a white fir, the Concolor fir has good foliage color, a pleasing natural shape and aroma, and good needle retention.

Leaves (needles) are small and narrow and occur in rows. On upper branches, needles tend to be thicker and more curved than those on lower branches.

Needles are usually 1/2 to 1 1/2 inch long, pointed or notched at the tip, bluish-green when young.

A particular favorite for those who love a tall Christmas tree, the Grand fir produces a beautiful, thick foliaged tree when sheared and is known for its strong fragrance.

It is easily distinguished from other Pacific Northwest firs by its sprays of lustrous needles in two distinct rows. They are usually horizontally spread so that both the upper and lower sides of the branches are clearly visible.

The needles are 1 to 1 1/2 inches long with glossy dark green tops and two highly visible white lines on the undersides.

The Canaan fir is quite similar to both the balsam fir and the Fraser fir, yet varies slightly from both.

The subtle differences are apparent to the grower, but many families are equally pleased with any of the three species.

The name comes from the original trees found in a limited area of West Virginia referred to as the Canaan Valley.
