Do you know what type of tree you’re getting? If the answer is no, then sit back and scroll with us as we explore the best types of Christmas trees to deck the halls with!
1. Fraser Fir Christmas Trees
Everybody loves a good Fraser Fir tree. Most people would tell you that it’s the perfect holiday tree and we couldn’t agree more. Its 1-inch needles feature a silvery-green hue that is also soft to the touch. With its firm branches, the Fraser Fir makes decorating easier. You don’t have to worry about filling it up with just about any ornament you have! The needle retention of this tree is also great as long as it’s watered and kept properly. It also holds a nice evergreen scent throughout the merry holidays.
2. Balsam Fir
The great thing about Balsam fir doesn’t only rely on its dark green hue. It’s that pleasant fragrance it gives off that makes it one of the most popular — if not the most popular — choice of Christmas tree. While its flexible branches don’t really hold up ornaments as well as a Fraser fir, you’ll surely enjoy it with little to no decor in itself.
3. Scots Pine / Scotch Pine
Looking for a tree with great needle retention and great keepability? The Scotch Pine — or Scots Pine — tree can be dry but it certainly won’t drop its sharp needles. This tree serves almost like a statement tree with its green to a blueish green hue and long-lasting scent. While it’s not the best tree for decorating given its heavy shearing and extra sharp pin-like needles, the tree in itself boasts its greatness effortlessly bare or minimally decorated.
4. Colorado Blue Spruce
As its name suggests, the Colorado Blue Spruce stands out with its blue, almost silvery foliage. If you’re in it for a wintry vibe inside your house this holiday season, then this could be the tree for you. With stiff branches, it holds greatly for ornaments. But watch out for its sharp needles! It’s always best to protect yourself while handling or decorating with gloves and long sleeves. Pets wouldn’t want to mess with your tree given how irritating its needles are, too!
5. Canaan Fir
Canaan is relatively new to the market but it surely made a name for itself for its great features. It’s often described as the love child of Balsam and Fraser fir trees. It greatly mirrors the image of a Balsam fir but it has the great needle retention of a Fraser fir. Because of this, people immediately fell in love with it and it became a popular choice among buyers. The rich green color and medium fragrance of this tree truly bring a part of nature into your home. It also has strong branches, perfect for decorating.
