Tree Types

Grand Fir
The Grand fir is easily distinguished from other trees, by its shinny dark-green needles in two distinct rows. They are
usually horizontally spread so that both the upper and lower sides of the branches are clearly visible. The needles when crushed
release a citrusy tangerine fragrance. Popularity of this tree continues to grow.

Noble Fir
The Noble fir has short stiff branches spaced apart and covered with bluish-green needles that appear silver. The needles
are generally twisted upward so that the lower surface of the branches is exposed. The boughs are often used in holiday arrangements
and wreaths. This uniquely beautiful tree is extremely hardy. Grown on the rich Northwest farmland, keepability is excellent.

Fraser Fir
The Fraser fir is a uniformly pyramid-shaped tree. The needles are short, lustrous dark green and slightly twisted at
their base. Strong branches are turned slightly upward which give the tree a compact appearance and shows the silvery color.

Douglas Fir
This tree is symmetrical and pyramidal; with uniform branches that are dense and wide-reaching. The
needles are dark green or bluish-green, soft to the touch and radiate out in all directions from the branches. The needles
have a sweet fragrance when crushed.
Tree Maintenance
- Care
for the tree as carefully as you care for cut flowers.
- Place
the tree in a bucket of water out of the sun and wind until you are ready to decorate.
- Make
a fresh cut off the bottom of the trunk one half inch from the bottom just before putting in the stand.
- Keep
the tree's stand full of water at all time, checking the water level daily.
- Trees
are thirsty! The stand you use should hold at least one quart of water for every inch diameter of the trunk after the tree
is in the stand. Trees may drink between 2 pints and a gallon of water per day – so make sure to check daily and supply
fresh water as needed.
