While artificial Christmas trees possess a certain convenience, many people like to have the crisp fragrance and ambiance of a fresh Christmas tree in their homes at Christmas time. Selecting the right type of fresh tree is important because Christmas trees are often a focal point for many family activities and traditions. Given the many types of natural Christmas trees available it's important to consider how the tree will be used and qualities the tree should have so that it will be suitable for your need and also last through the season.
Real Christmas trees can often be bought from retail chain stores but the best place to get a real and fresh tree is likely to be from a Christmas tree farm. Buying a tree from a farm is the best option because a farm will be more likely to offer more species of trees and therefore a wider variety of shapes and sizes. Another reason is that after you've made your selection you will observe the tree being cut and can take steps to preserve its freshness.
Christmas trees, like other trees, have different shapes and qualities. The most favorite Christmas trees basically have a pyramid or cone shape that make them more popular than others. These include the Douglas, Fraser, Noble and Balsam firs, and the Scotch, Virginia and white pine trees. These evergreen trees all have one or more excellent features related to shape, color or sheen and fragrance, which makes them favorites to be used for Christmas trees and consequently are bestsellers.
A pyramid-shaped Christmas tree is most likely to be taller and has somewhat of a more elegant look. The Douglas fir, which ranks high up among Christmas tree favorites, is an example of a pyramid-shaped tree. Other examples of pyramid-shaped trees are Fraser, Balsam and Noble firs.
