christmas tree

Fraser fir, balsam fir, concolor fir, douglas fir, blue spruce and scotch pine… the options for your home’s Christmas tree are vast and, occasionally, confusing if you aren’t sure what you’re looking for. Thankfully, the team at Premium Christmas Wreaths is experienced in both growing amazing Christmas trees and helping our customers find the perfect tree to fill their space. In this post, we’re going to lay out some of the major differences between the most popular trees and, hopefully, help you decide what option best suits your home.

As you may have guessed, the tradition of the Christmas tree extends back hundreds of years. Yet, like most traditions, it’s hard to really tell when the tradition precisely began. The first written record of a decorated Christmas tree comes from 1510 in Riga, Latvia. It was decorated with roses in the marketplace by members of the local merchants’ guild and was meant to be a symbol of the Virgin Mary.

Have you been meaning to give us a call in November but you just didn’t get around to it? Or maybe you decided to buy a tree from a neighborhood lot, but the selection last weekend already looked picked over and the trees remaining looked dried out. That’s when you wished you had given Premium Wreaths by Christmas Farms a call.
