There are basically three choices for Christmas trees – 1) artificial, 2) cut and 3) living trees for planting outdoors after the holidays. There are pros and cons of each choice.
Artificial Christmas trees are just that – artificial but due to allergies, some people have to go that route. Some of them look pretty good these days. Cut trees primarily come from farms that grow trees for that purpose. Fraser fir and noble fir are the two most popular cut trees. Some other varieties grown are Virginia pine, Afghan pine (Eldarica), Leyland cypress and Eastern red cedar. With the exception of Virginia pine, these all can be purchased as living trees and planted after the holidays.
Italian Stone Pine
The very best choices for living trees are Eastern red cedar and Italian stone pine, and rosemary is great for small spaces. Remember to set the living tree up in the house just before Christmas and plant outdoors immediately after removing the ornaments.
