When it comes to Christmas trees, there’s a lot more to them than just picking a type. You have to consider the benefits of each tree and how it will look in your home.
Here are some of the different types of Christmas trees and their benefits:
Fraser fir
One of the most popular Christmas trees in North America, the Fraser fir has a classic look and holds up well over time. It’s also easy to find at most tree lots because it’s native to northern parts of the United States and Canada. The needles are dark green with white undersides and smell like pine when crushed or rubbed together between your fingers. The branches are stiff but pliable enough that they don’t break easily when decorated with ornaments.
Balsam fir
The Balsam fir is another popular choice among North Americans because it’s easy to find locally and has a long lifespan (about 10 years). Its needles are soft and silvery-green with a sweet fragrance that some say smells like vanilla, while others say it smells like pineapple candy or citrus fruit (depending on who you ask). Its branches are sturdy enough to support heavier decorations without falling apart.
Blue Spruce
The blue spruce has needles that are 1-2 inches long with a silvery blue appearance. The needles have a strong scent similar to pine and cedar. Blue spruce trees do not shed as easily as other Christmas trees so they make great indoor trees because they don’t shed their needles. Blue spruce trees also hold their needles well through the holiday season unlike other varieties of fir trees which tend to lose their needles quickly after being cut down.
Douglas fir
This type of tree has stiff branches and thick needles that make it easy to hang heavy ornaments on. It also has a strong scent that lasts longer than most other types of trees.
Noble fir
The Noble fir gets its name from its beautiful appearance with dark green needles and soft white undertones, making it an elegant choice for any home décor style. The Noble fir also has dense branches that are perfect for hanging heavy ornaments on without having them fall off easily during transport or storage.
Norway Spruce
The Norway spruce is another popular type of coniferous Christmas tree. It has stiff branches and dark green needles that radiate out from the branch tips. Its shape makes it easy to decorate with lights and ornaments.
Classic Christmas Tree
The classic Christmas tree is the most popular type of tree that you’ll find at home or in stores throughout the holidays. These trees come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, but they all have one thing in common: They’re all artificial.
If you love the smell of pine and want a natural look for your home, then this is the tree for you. The classic Christmas tree has been around for decades, so it’s easy to find one that suits your style and taste.
