Types of Christmas Trees at Larwick Christmas Tree Farm
The Douglas fir tree is the
staple Christmas tree in the
United States. It is well known
for its cone shape, bushy
branches, fragrance and full
thick appearance. The Doug fir
is typically the least expensive
Christmas tree due to its fast
growth and abundance in the
northwest.
Look directly at the branch: The
needles fully circle the branch
going out in every direction.
Douglas Fir (Doug)
How to Identify
The Grand fir is best known for
its strong tree fragrance. It is
similar to the Doug fir in
appearance with its cone
shape, bushy branches and full
thick appearance. The Grand
fir is also unique in that they
have dark colored needles on
top and a light color
underneath.
Look directly at the branch: The
needles on the sides point
directly out creating a flat
looking appearance. There are
no needles pointing up or
down.
Grand Fir
How to Identify
The Noble fir is the most popular
tree in the northwest. It is well
known for its strong branches
and sparse look. This gives the
tree an advantage for hanging
decorations as there is more
room between branches and
even the heaviest of ornaments
cause minimum branch sagging.
It is also a very durable tree,
staying green longer and
keeping more needles after
being cut down than either the
doug or grand.
Look directly at the branch: The
needles on the side and top
point up creating semi-circle of
needles. The bottom of the
branch is flat.

The Fraser fir is very similar in appearance to the Noble Fir
and has all the same general characteristics. It does
however have slight distinguished blue hue to the needles.
The branches also grow more up then straight out making it
a narrower tree and good for locations where space in a
house is at a premium.
