Choosing Fresh Christmas Trees In Abu Dhabi
Douglas Fir
Its bluish-green colour, pyramidal shape, and long-lasting needles make Douglas fir a popular cut tree.
Most regions have access to this type of Christmas tree, making it one of the most popular. Its compact branches and strong evergreen scent make it lush and full.
Fraser Fir
Fraser firs are aromatic evergreen trees with bicolour needles, deep green on top and silvery-white below.
It fits nicely in small rooms or tucked in tight corners since it is more cone-shaped than pyramidal. The Fraser is an excellent choice to hang heavy ornaments or tinsels because of its sturdy branches.
Grand Fir
The grand fir makes a beautiful Christmas light backdrop with its shiny, bicolour needles-bright green on top and white-stripe underneath.
Its needles are softer to touch in comparison to some other popular firs, giving the tree a fine texture. It is one of the most fragrant firs, as it has a strong spicy scent creating a true Christmas vibe.
Eastern White Pine
Eastern white pine’s fresh, green colour and tiered branching structure make it worthy of consideration during the holiday season.
As a result of its long, thin needles, its a more texturised Christmas tree. It’s an attractive choice for wreaths.
Scotch Pine
Scotch pines are popular cut trees during the holiday season due to their conical shape, piney scent, and good needle retention.
No matter how dry the tree gets, the soft, green needles will stay on the branches, so there will be no mess if you forget to water it. Typically, their trunks are slightly crooked, which can be a plus if you like trees with character.
