Choosing the Right Type of Christmas Tree
Not all Christmas trees are created equal—each type has its own look, scent, and needle retention qualities. Here are a few of the most popular fresh-cut trees you’ll find at Premier Nursery:
- Noble Fir
If you prefer a more stately and symmetrical tree, the Noble Fir is an excellent option. Its evenly spaced branches and rich green color create a classic Christmas look. The needles are thick and sturdy, yet soft to the touch, and this tree’s structure makes it easy to decorate. Noble Firs also have outstanding longevity, staying fresh for weeks with proper care. - Douglas Fir
Known for its full shape and sweet, citrus-like fragrance, the Douglas Fir is a traditional favorite. It has soft, shiny needles and dense foliage that gives it a lush appearance. If you love a fragrant tree that fills your home with the scent of Christmas, the Douglas Fir is a great pick. - Nordmann Fir
For those who want a tree that holds its needles exceptionally well, the Nordmann Fir is a standout choice. It has dark green, glossy needles and a uniform shape that gives it a refined, elegant appearance. While it doesn’t have as strong a scent as other varieties, its beauty and durability make it increasingly popular for Texas homes. - Fraser Fir
The Fraser Fir is an excellent Christmas tree choice, and for good reason. Its strong branches, soft needles, and excellent needle retention make it a top choice for families who like to decorate early in the season. The needles have a silvery-green hue and a pleasant, mild fragrance that fills the room without being overpowering. Fraser Firs also hold heavy ornaments well, making them both beautiful and practical.
The team at Premier Nursery can help you compare these types side by side to find the one that best fits your style, fragrance preference, and decorating plans.
How to Care for Your Fresh-Cut Christmas Tree
Once you’ve found the perfect tree, proper care is key to keeping it fresh and vibrant through Christmas Day—and beyond.Make a Fresh Cut:
- Before placing your tree in a stand, cut about half an inch off the trunk’s base. This opens up the pores of the wood so it can better absorb water. If you don’t plan to set it up right away, keep it in a cool, shaded area in a bucket of water.
- Water Regularly:
A fresh-cut tree can drink up to a gallon of water or more each day during the first week. Always ensure the stand’s water reservoir stays full. A dry trunk can quickly seal over, preventing the tree from absorbing water and leading to premature needle drop. - Keep It Cool:
Place your tree away from heat sources like fireplaces, vents, or direct sunlight. The cooler the room, the longer your tree will stay fresh. - Avoid Additives:
Plain water is best—there’s no need for sugar, aspirin, or special preservatives. Consistent hydration is what keeps your tree green and fragrant. - Dispose of It Properly:
After the holidays, check for local recycling programs that turn Christmas trees into mulch or compost. It’s an eco-friendly way to give your tree a second life.
