Tree Types

Noble Fir

A favorite Christmas tree, Noble Fir is easily recognized by upward curving needles that grow on opposite sides of a branch. Ornaments hang nicely from its open, symmetrically spaced branches.

Nordman Fir

The Nordmann Fir is favored for its attractive foliage, softer needles, and its resistance to shedding needles as the tree dries. It has also become a great choice for some families where allergies or sensitivity to the typical Christmas tree armoma is a concern as the Nordmann lacks fragrance.

Douglas Fir

This fragrant tree is economical and a season favorite.

The Douglas-fir (actually a pine) has been the most popular Christmas tree species in America since the 1920s. For 40 years, nearly all trees were harvested from forest lands, but since the 1950's, the transformation from growing trees in the wild to culturing them on plantations has been dramatic. Today, few trees come from forest lands.

Nationally, it remains one of the most popular Christmas trees species. The Douglas fir Christmas tree is shipped to the majority of the United States and is also exported to the Hawaiian Islands, Mexico, Central America, Guam and Asia.
