At Santa’s Evergreens we offer four types of trees: Fraser Fir, Canaan Fir, Balsam Fir, and Spruce.  Each species has its own distinct characteristics that are highlighted below:
Fraser Fir - Generally known as the “Cadillac” of Christmas Trees, this tree has short soft dark green needles with a silvery underside, stout branches, and is known for its needle retention.   Balsam Fir - These trees are known best for their scent as they have the strongest pine scent. With short soft dark green needles and medium stout  branches these trees are generally a little fuller than a Fraser fir. Needle retention, while not as good as a Fraser fir, is still good. Canaan Fir - These trees are relatively new to the market and can best be described as a cross between a Fraser and Balsam Fir. They have the scent of a Balsam but have the needles and needle retention similar to a Fraser.   Spruce - We grow several varieties of spruce on the farm. All of the Spruce trees have short sharp needles, strong stiff branches, and range in color from medium green to blue. Needle retention is good. In the field we grow Fraser Fir, Canaan Fir, and Spruce.  The fresh cuts we offer are Fraser Fir, Balsam Fir, and Canaan Fir. Learn more about our trees.
