Fresh Needle Fast Natural Christmas Trees

Norway Spruce (Picea Abies)

The traditional Christmas Tree with light green, short foliage. This tree tends to be sheared to give a compact and dense shape. It has a good scent and fairly gentle needles, but is not renowned for its needle-retaining properties. The secret is in the freshness of the tree

Nordmann Fir (Abies Nordmanniana):
Also known as Caucasian Fir. This is the most established and reliable of the needle-retaining varieties, at it's best and most consistent when grown from Ombrolaui seed stock. It has quite large, gentle, rich green foliage with a silvery underside. Much research has been done and it can be regulated for leader growth. This, combined with a good, soft pruning regime gives a regular and full shape. Reasonably scented, its foliage grows from the top of the branches and tends to have a bare trunk.

Frazer Fir (Abies Fraseri) :

Bearing a shorter and slightly lighter green foliage than the Nordmann, this is a nice and compact tree. One of it's 'quirks' is a slightly crooked leader. This is not a fault and indeed adds to the overall character of the tree. It looks especially good in smaller sizes as the needle length is in proportion to the height of the tree. It has very good needle retaining capabilities and gives off an attractive, citrus scent.

Premium - Very well shaped and dense, with a glossy foliage.
