Characteristics we may prefer

These are the most common kinds of Christmas trees that people prefer to buy today. Of course, since it has been embedded in our culture to celebrate the holidays with such a tree in our house, especially one that we truly like, we have to choose it with care.

If you are after the fragrance, you may go for the Fraser and Balsam firs. The Fraser fir has flexible, upward-pointing needles that retains it shape. It also has a bluish-green color. Meanwhile, the needles of the Balsam fir are dark green.

However, if you want to choose size, you can go for the White pine. Like the Fraser fir, it is also flexible and has bluish-green needles. But its scent is not the same as the Balsam fir or the Fraser fir.
