These needles turn upward, exposing the lower branches. Known for its beauty, the Noble Fir has a long keep ability, and its stiff branches make it a good tree for heavy ornaments.
The Balsam Fir is a beautiful dark-green color with airy, flexible branches that may not be able to hold heavy ornaments. It has an attractive form, it holds its needles well, and gives off a pleasant fragrance for your home.
A Douglas Fir is beautiful Christmas tree with soft shiny green needles. It may be difficult to decorate if the branches have been sheared into a perfect conical shape, leaving too little space between branches to hang decorations. If this variety of tree is available, you might want to take an unbreakable ornament with you when you buy a tree to see if you can put decorations on it. Choose a Douglas Fir that is freshly cut and keep it well watered.
The Fraser Fir may be the perfect holiday tree. Its attractive 1" needles are silvery-green and soft to the touch. Because there is space between the branches, the Fraser is easier to decorate than some trees. The firm branches hold heavier ornaments. The trees grow to almost perfect shapes, and as long as the cut tree is kept properly watered, the Frasier Fir has excellent needle retention.
The Grand Fir has a glossy dark green color with needles that are 1 to 1 1/2 inches long. This tree is soft to the touch and may not be able to hold heavier ornaments. It's a pretty tree htat grows as high as 300 feet and it's becoming more popular for homes.
Nordman Fir Christmas trees have dark green glossy needles and dense foliage. They are native to Northern Turkey and the Republic of Georgia and can withstand temperatures as low as 40 degrees C. The Nordman Fir has excellent needle retention qualities. These trees can be compared to the Noble Fir but are not quite as symmetrical and tend to have a little more character. They can take as long as 10 years to grow.
A Scotch Pine's needles can be sharp as pins! Also, due to heavy shearing, there may be little space between branches for ornaments. The Nat'l Christmas Tree Association notes "the Scotch pine is known for its excellent needle retention and good keepability. It resists drying and if permitted to become dry does not drop its needles."
The White Pine has soft, flexible needles and is bluish-green in color. Needles are 2 ½ - 5 inches long. White Pine’s have good needle retention, but have little aroma. They aren’t recommended for heavy ornaments.
