Best Christmas Tree Type: Tip from Trinity Christmas Tree Team
Christmas Tree, advice, shopping, trees, fraser fir, Trinity UMC, Boy Scouts, Youth group
Have you wondered what type of Christmas tree to get?
The best is the Fraser Fir because of its attractive 1" needles. They are soft to the touch and have firm and well spaced branches that hold ornaments firmly. Also it has excellent needle retention.
The shape is nice and the branches turn upward to hold ornaments well. It has a great scent and was named for a botanist, John Fraser, who explored the southern Appalachians in the late 1700's.
