Types of Christmas Trees

The Douglas Fir 

This evergreen is a staple in numerous Christmas tree lots. Folks love this tree for its long-lasting needles and pyramid-like shape. The glossy, soft needles that develop on all sides of its branches, making it look even more luxurious. Though clipped branches might be too dense and hard to decorate. For the beautiful, subtly sweet aroma alone, this evergreen is worth contemplating.

 

The Balsam Fir 

This evergreen tree has two-toned needles, silver, and dark green. Like many firs, they’re prone to keeping their needles for 30 days. The balsam fir is your top choice if you’re one to put your tree up right after Thanksgiving. When decorating, don’t forget that balsam fir trees have supple, bendable branches, not the right choice for heavy ornaments. Balsam firs are for lighter ornaments like tinsel, paper chains, popcorn strands, ribbons, or little twinkling lights.
