Douglas Fir
A short needled tree with green non-prickly needles. It has a nice smell and has a very good house life. This tree is a very popular Christmas Tree on the West Coast as well.

Fraser Fir

Fraser Fir
Also softer feeling needles in a deep green colour, and is very popular for its layered appearance. Has a very pleasant, sweet scent. It has upswept branches and excellent needle retention.

Very safe around children and pets because of the long, very soft and flexible needles. This tree needs to be handled with some care and can only handle lightweight decorations. It has excellent needle retention.
