Douglas fir is the Christmas tree most people think of first, since it is the typical type sold almost everywhere. It is shipped to the majority of the states and is also exported to the Pacific Islands and some Asian markets. On the farm, Douglas firs can grow over a wider range of conditions than other species, and because they grow more quickly than the true firs, the Douglas fir is a mid-priced Christmas tree offering good value. Douglas firs are popular for their dense, bushy shape and fine, soft, dark green or blue green needles that radiate out in all directions from the branch. They have a sweet piney scent that seems to last through the entire Christmas season. Top of Page |

Grand Fir, while still relatively less known as a Christmas tree, produces a spectacular and lush holiday display, so is growing in popularity. Grand Fir needles are a lustrous dark green color with silvery undersides, and a shiny appearance that reflect the Christmas tree lights for a beautiful effect. It is the most fragrant Christmas tree with a powerful citrus-like evergreen scent which is enhanced in the warmth of the tree’s lights. Northwest native Americans used Grand Fir foliage and branches for such purposes as shamanic headdresses, costumes and purification rites; incense, medicinal tea and decorative clothing; occasionally for fuel, canoes, dye or even as a deodorant and balding preventative.

Noble Fir is the most requested Christmas tree for both our residential and our commercial installations. The tree is outstandingly beautiful, with a symmetrical shape and evenly spaced, layered branches. The Noble Fir has a very has a long cut life, by retaining its needles and maintaining its freshness. Its beautiful soft, blue-green, needles on strong branches provide a perfect foil for heavy ornaments. Because the lower surface of branches and needles are upturned, they expose the white underside of the needles, closely resembling the popular “silver tip”. The Noble Fir is also widely used to make wreaths, door swags, garland and other Christmas products. Top of Page |
