Balsam Fir:
Strong branches and soft needles, a straight stem and dense, soft, lush, dark green foliage make this one of the most desirable
for use as a Christmas tree. Balsam trees have the scent that make most people think of Christmas trees! Our balsam trees this year are outstanding!
Canaan Fir:
This fir is sometimes described as an intermediate species between Balsam and Fraser Firs and has many of the characteristics of both. It is sometimes called a "Blue Ridge Fir" or "Bracted balsam" and makes an excellent Christmas tree for the same reasons mentioned in the Balsam fir and Fraser fir sections.
Colorado Blue Spruce:
Classic pyramid shape and very strong branches to support heavy ornaments and good needle retention make this tree a popular choice for many. This tree species color can range from medium green to those beautiful pale blue trees calledl "shiners". If you don't mind the sharp needles, this makes a great Christmas tree.
Concolor Fir (White Fir)
Silver-green foliage desplayed in a distinctive upright, sweeping manner. This tree has medium to long needles with excellent needle retention, and that great fragrance that is very similar to a balsam fir. We look forward to finally having some U-Cut concolors in 2011.
Douglas Fir:
Beautiful soft medium length needles. The tree color can vary from medium green to bluish green. This is one of the most fragrant trees with a wonderful sweet citrisy fragrance. Good needle retention and medium strong branches for holding ornaments.
We have an exceptionally nice selection of Douglas Fir for the 2011 season in the 6 to 8 foot range.
Fraser Fir:
Close relative of the Balsam, Frasers are dark green with a silvery underside to the needles. The needles are rounded, soft and very fragrant. The fact that this tree is normally a little narrower than many species and has extra-ordinary needle retention makes this tree a favorite.
Very nice selection of frasers to cut this year from 5 to over 11 foot tall.
Norway Spruce (Red Fir)
A tree of European descent, sometimes known as "red fir" because of the color of the reddish bark on a mature tree. It has an excellent dark green color and pleasing shape. This is not a tree that will tolerate shipping or long periods without water but has good needle retention when cut fresh. We have some nice lookingr Norways to cut this year and there may be a few potted ones available as well.
For the 2011 season we will have a nice selection of all sizes Fraser fir including talerl 10 - 12 foot fraser firs. There are beautiful Douglas Firs, Canaan Fir this year and Balsam Firs of all sizes. There are a few smaller Norway Spruce and Concolor firs to cut. Call for info about the potted trees.
As always, we have an excellent selection of pre-cut trees of all species for your convenience. Come and see!
