Types of Trees
Not sure which
species of Christmas tree to get? Here's a
brief description of the ones available at
Sinnissippi Forest: |
Scotch Pine:
Our most popular Christmas tree, the Scotch Pine
has rigid, blue green foliage, with needles
about two to three inches long. It has
sturdy branches and excellent needle retention,
and is slightly aromatic.
White Pine:
This fluffy tree has soft, lacy, blue-green
foliage with needles about three inches long.
The graceful-looking light-weight evergreen has
limber branches and excellent needle retention,
with a delicate pine fragrance.
Blue
Spruce: This spruce has stout,
three-sided needles about three-quarters of an
inch long surrounding the sturdy branches like a
bottlebrush. Its color varies from dark
green to indigo blue. Needles are stiff
and tend to be prickly, but needle retention is
very good.
Fraser Fir: This
stately fir has soft but firm needles about
three-quarters of an inch long that are
emerald-green with silver-blue undersides.
Outstanding needle retention and sturdy
branching make it a popular choice.
Canaan Fir: A relatively new variety
of Christmas tree, the Caanan Fir is very
similar in appearance to the Fraser Fir, though
its needles that tend to be longer than those of
the Fraser Fir, about one inch in length, and
vary more in color.
Concolor Fir:
Most commonly known as White Fir, this evergreen
has soft, silvery-blue foliage, with flattened
needles about two to three inches long, with a
distinctive citrus aroma. Excellent needle
retention makes it an increasingly popular tree.
Douglas Fir:
Its lush, blue-green foliage, with soft needles
about one inch in length, is very attractive.
Its sturdy branching and outstanding needle
retention make this evergreen a holiday
favorite.
