The tree for you

-

1 Nordmann fir:

The most popular variety of cut tree. Its dense, lush needles are slow to drop, though it doesn’t have much scent.

2 Norway spruce:

The traditiona­l tree with narrow branches and needles that are prone to falling. They smell wonderful!

3 Blue spruce:

An elegant tree with attractive blue-grey foliage. The needles are long, and can be sharp, so take care!

4 Fraser fir:

The tree shape is lean, rather than bulky, but the needles are dense and the scent is rich and warm.

5 Douglas fir:

Popular in America, this tree has a lovely lemony scent and soft, dark green or blue-green needles.
