THE SPECIES WHICH WE GROW.
NORWAY SPRUCE:
The traditional Christmas tree which we
all remember with nostalgia from our childhood. Green/Yellow green. It is
still the most popular tree though it is losing popularity because it can
drop its needles. If the tree is fresh and kept in water this problem can
be reduced and almost eliminated. Our Norway Spruce trees have been sheared
regularly and become dense and bushy, making most attractive trees. They
are also harvested at the last possible minute to ensure that they are
fresh and minimise needle drop.
NOBLE FIR:
Becoming increasingly popular because of
its excellent needle retention. Has a blue tinge and distinctive growth habit.
All its needles are swept upwards and forwards giving a rich texture.
Produces a lovely pine scent when
touched.
NORDMANN FIR:
Similar to the Noble Fir in growth habit
and needle retention, but much more green in colour.
FRASER FIR:
Often referred to as the "Rolls
Royce" of Christmas trees, fragrant and deep green in colour. It has
an almost perfect natural shape which we improve by careful pruning from a
young age. The branches are thick and sturdy to support the heaviest of
ornaments and the needles short, soft and velvety.
Perfect as a Christmas tree because of
its ability to retain its needles long after it has been cut and brought
into the house.
