Towards the end of each year, we look to choose a Christmas tree that does our home and the holiday season justice. It will need to fit our home but also look impressive to us and those visiting. Children will enjoy the experience of decorating a real tree.
If you are ready for that search, which is good to get onto in plenty of time so you can reserve your tree, then it is time to visit someone in person in Los Angeles or online, who can take care of your real Christmas tree needs, as well as supply you with other Christmas adornments.
Silvertip
It makes sense, if you live in California, to go for a Christmas tree native to the area. In this case, you will go for a Silvertip. It has that distinctive look to match its name.
The Silvertip Fir is found at the top of the mountains of Oregon and California. Ordinarily, they are hard to obtain Christmas trees but can be obtained from MrGreentrees if desired, along with a choice of other naturally grown trees.
Noble Fir
An important consideration when you buy a real Christmas tree is to think of its needle retention. This can save on a lot of housework. Noble Firs stand up to this test. Not only that, but they also have a nice scent too.
Apart from being used as a Christmas tree, Noble Firs will be used for structural purposes and in paper manufacture. So, those looking to decorate their homes with one in Los Angeles or elsewhere should know how in demand they are.
Nordmann Fir
It is comforting to know that the Nordmann Fir is also known as the “non-drop” tree. This is, of course, concerning its needles. This species is an evergreen that retains its needles well. Many people will fear getting a real Christmas tree because of the extra work they think it will cause because of needing to vacuum the needles. This can be almost ruled out when there are trees like this one that is not known for dropping needles, even when dry. With other real Christmas trees, regular watering will otherwise be the answer to preventing needles from dropping out. However, it is a small sacrifice for having a tree everyone will admire more because it is real and not just pretending to be that way.
If you prefer not to have a scent, then go for the Nordmann Fir because it doesn’t have one. It may be that you do not want a scent to distract from other scents in your home or do not want one at all. It is nice to have a real Christmas tree and still have this choice.
To look at, the Nordmann Fir has conical-shaped buds that are typically pale red. The bark of a Nordmann Fir will start green when it is young and then turn brown before it turns grey. It is a fascinating change of shade as this tree develops.
Douglas Fir
A Douglas Fir may not be your choice if you have some heavy Christmas ornaments to put on your tree, out of tradition, but they have a wonderful scent and have a distinctive blue-green shade to their needles. Everyone will be able to tell that you have a Douglas Fir as soon as they enter your home.
In its natural habitat, Douglas Firs have a thick bark that is useful in protecting them from fires that are considered moderate. They have even been known to establish themselves after a fire has happened on the wetter sites. Many ancient sites will have Douglas Fir trees planted to honour fires that happened there a long time ago. It is nice to know something about their history. This makes their addition to our home during Christmas even more special.
It can be a good idea to look at Christmas trees in other places to make your final choice. Many places will have them up early for you to admire and look at their features.
In conclusion, a choice of four different Christmas trees here should provide a good selection to enable you to find just the tree that you are looking for to make Christmas special for you and your family. The Christmas tree is, after all, one of the symbols of Christmas. It is nice to have some small gifts on it as well as having coordinating baubles for effect. As well, illuminate your tree with some fairy lights and have it look magical.
